Accept the fact that you're an artist and stop second-guessing yourself. Just do it.

In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care to cultivate it.

My will for you is not harsh or unpleasant. It is gentle and perfectly tailored to your unique needs. Do not fear my direction. I am your heart's happiest guide.

Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.

You do not need to work to become spiritual. You are spiritual; you need only to remember that fact. Spirit is within you. God is within you. (67)

So much of an artist's career hinges on the sense that we are going somewhere, that we are not just trapped by the four walls of wherever we are. For creative sanity, I must believe that if I just do the next right thing, a path will unfold for me.

We are not accustomed to thinking that God's will for us and our own inner dreams can coincide.
