My mother lent me a good book called “Coaching the Artist Within: Advice for Writers, Actors, Visual Artists and Musicians from America’s Foremost Creativity Coach” by Eric Maisel.
It hit a few chords. It’s about developing your creative life – whatever that may mean to you – and learning to honestly, objectively look at any issues that may get in your way and work through them. And that may include being tough with yourself and not letting yourself get away with excuses because you’re afraid to do something. It mentioned that most people never take the risks to achieve their dreams. They may have some secret, unrealistic dream buried in their hearts, but they make the safe, sensible choices and never even acknowledge them.
Even if you never quite reach the star you were aiming for, you’ll get alot closer looking up and flapping your artistic wings, than by pretending the star doesn’t exist.
