As I have said before, I am a frustrated artist with an infinite number of ideas manifesting themselves in my thoughts. I have been extremely frustrated by my failure to bring most of these thoughts to life. Today, I sauntered about and this quote found me:
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
I will continue to try.
I haven't blogged in some time. Summer fun and travel didn't leave much time. But I found a blog post recently and it speaks to me. I think I find it interesting because I am increasingly seeing the merit in a full time job with benefits. And having such a job does not necessarily preclude the living of a creative life. And that is the message of the blog post. The piece is from a very successful blogger, creative, and artist - Alex Beauchamp.

I just discovered this quote:
Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple really. Double your rate of failure. (Thomas J. Watson)
I have said before that I have so many ideas, so many ideas swirling around the maelstrom of my mind. And, I find it difficult to start, to give them a chance. This book advises to devote a little bit of time each day or each week to some of them and see what happens. You never know what you might attract. So, basically, throw yourself into your ideas and see how the world and you react! I really need to get started!
