When you are leading, you have to take initiative.

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.

Amateurs write when they are inspired. Professionals are inspired when they write. This is a subtle but important distinction.

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.

There's no work-life balance without making decisions and without courage.

What single brave decision do I need to make today?

Social media is new to me and I didn't think I would like it, being very protective of my private space, but it's nice to connect to the love and positive vibes folks have to share.
