Re: The Easy Way

Arthur, we're definitely often our own worst enemies when it comes to pursuing our dreams. Great to hear you've had a perspective shift. Congratulations, and good luck!

The Easy Way

Curt

The way you stated this is so true and to the point. It seems that most can always find reasons or excuses not to follow their dreams, which is the way of a pessimist and what is known as "self inflicted doubt". I sue to be that same person until my business mentor opened up my eyes to the fact that I was my own worse enemy and was holding myself back from my dream. I have put that doubt away for ever and have had nothing but drive and determination on starting my art own studio/school after realizing it was time for me to come down off the ladders and scaffolding and didn't know how to go about it, but when I finally put the pessimistic way of thinking in the background more positive and promising things all started to fall in place. Even though the economy has been devastating to most businesses, including mine, I have continued on with my dream no matter what and it will become a reality.......Grand opening will be Jan.
