I was swimming in art day and night. There were always parties being thrown, with artists from every medium (my extended aunts and uncles), living as boldly as they want to be.

No one runs your life unless you let them. And you have more power than you think.

If you don't need God to pull off what you are planning, you are not dreaming big enough.

I'm willing to submit to the sovereignty of the consumer, but I just want to know what they say.

In hindsight I can see that my love for the arts began by watching my father and his colleagues perform on stage in Jamaica, and running a muck among the exhibits of fabulous Jamaican art at the National Gallery while mum was upstairs curating.

Sadly, I have met very few people who have a plan for their life. Most are passive spectators, watching their lives unfold, one day at a time. They are reactive rather than proactive. They may plan their careers, the building of a new home, or even a vacation. But it never occurs to them to plan their life.

To get more clarity, take a step in the direction of the destination.
