And don’t worry about editing your posts on our account. This is YOUR journey. I, for one, am interested in all you have to say. Remember it is a marathon, not a sprint. Think of us as the people who stand along the route cheering you on, offering water when you’re thirsty and power bars when you need an energy boost!

I’m so glad you shared this chapter of your progress. I think what you’re describing is something I went through, myself, just as an artist and as a person who tends to make huuuuge goals that are usually very lofty and hard to achieve. It’s that perfectionist/A-type personality trait. It’s a double-edged sword, makes us reach really high, but then kick ourselves when we can’t figure out why we didn’t get there!

I think that you’ve done the bravest thing a person like us can do: ask for help. I’ve gotten better about it over the years, but it was really tough in the beginning. You have to remind yourself that even though you are using someone else’s assistance, it is still you taking control of your destiny. It just takes longer for that realization to reveal itself.

What I try to tell myself now is to always shoot for the moon, and if you don’t make it, grab onto a star on the way down. That star might be just the right thing!

I wish you all the best of luck, and please continue to keep us posted. There’s much to be learned from what you’re recording.

I had something [what I had ALREADY known!] highlighted for me once more – perhaps the final time before I too take the plunge & get going [again], properly!

Thank-you. Every wee, daily reminder helps! Enjoy compiling your inspiration board – look forward to seeing it!
