He has a point in there where he talks about every creative person reaching that point in a project where they HATE it, and almost quits, or thinks it stinks and they have no talent, etc etc. But to persevere and it comes back around in the end.

It was on Coach Dayne's blog... here, I found it:<br />http://coachyourmind.blogspot.com/2012/02/never-cant-daddy-only-can.html<br /><br />He said all those little scary thoughts we tell ourself are just our way of trying to protect ourself from failure. It was good stuff!

I took a long break and went back at it, and although I don't think it'll be my next masterpiece, I sure feel better about myself for giving it one more try. I"ll have to check out those podcasts.

I rather dive than wonder 'what if'. Funny, because I was just recently thinking about that--relating to some wrong decisions I made in my life. Husband said, "But if you had chosen differently would you be here in this place you love?" Probably not. I mulled it all over some more and decided it was better to go for it and make a wrong turn than to have done nothing at all and regretted not doing it.M Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-26228168051680324482012-02-15T06:57:26.192-08:002012-02-15T06:57:26.192-08:00I have said many times that I feel like a race hor...I have said many times that I feel like a race horse stuck at the gates.
