“If you trusted that your art was going to support your life, how would you live?”

Your desires will very often be contradictory and so will your strengths. All of our contradictions make us whole.

Speak the truth. Affirm your desire. Declare your intentions. Recall your successes. Your psyche will believe you. Your body will feel you. Your Soul will thank you for the straight-up communication.

Value inner attainement as much as you value outer attainment.

The journey has to feel the way you want the destination to feel.

The secret to success: Do what you say you’re going to do.

The surest sign that you’re working with the life-affirming kind of discipline, rather than the spirit-depressing kind, is that you don’t complain very much about doing what it takes.

You will fail. At some point. More than once. Guaranteed. Proceed anyway.

Start leaving what you want to leave. Your future is waiting.

Someone you haven’t met yet is already dreaming of adoring you.

Passion will always move you in the direction of your authentic self.

Your curiosity is your growth point. Always.

Nobody can tell your story the way you can tell your story.

Almost any decision is better than no decision — just keep moving.

It’s not about the goal, it’s about how you want to feel when you get there.

Small, deliberate actions inspired by your true desires create a life you love.

You don’t need to be burned out to go on hiatus.

I am a museum full of art but you had your eyes shut.

Nature is the art of God.

True art comes from flying with the madness so close you burn your eyelashes.

What is art without the human touch before it all gets dark.

The art of being uncomfortable is a fine one it is necessary to become strong.

All she built had fallen apart it’s OK she believed destruction was art.

The art of reading and studying consists of remembering the essentials and forgetting what is not essential.

Art is mostly a long stroll in the wilderness of one’s own heart.
