Nothing is more wasteful than ignoring what you long for Barbara Sher

When you play it too safe, you're taking the biggest risk of your life. Barbara Sher

Start moving toward a goal you really want and the resistance will leap out of hiding and start trying to talk you out of hiding. . Barbara Sher

Every time you have to make a choice about anything think does this go toward or away from what I want? Always choose what goes toward what you want. BS

What will determine the course of your life more than any other one thing is whether or not you're willing to tolerate necessary discomfort. BS

My Impoverished Artist

He said it was a Vata imbalance. I thought I had a Pitta dosha. Well, apparently, you can have one dominant constitution but still have an imbalance from a secondary one. When I looked up the characteristics of a Vata person, I read that these are the artistic, wired types. So that’s it! My artist is impoverished! She needs a diet of creativity, word smithing, and believing in that big dream of hers. She’s sickly because she does not feed upon the proper nutrition which is daily writing. She’s been looking for her manna, and her owner is not giving it to her. Her owner tends to operate from the right brain hemisphere where everything works according to a formula. But the artist can tell her that has never worked for her in the past. She operates better when she uses her child like eagerness to dance in fields of tall dandelions and create from her playfulness. There’s no order to things as well as no “shoulds” that line up what she “should” be doing. There’s an open field where she longs to roam and if she lets her dance, she might find her energy again.
