To bring possibilities and choices in your life one must have courage and overcome fear. Fears are imagined and groundless because nothing has happened yet; when you take the first step and see what unfolds perhaps it is not as terrible as imagined. This is something I keep in mind when I am afraid to take that first step or even start a painting or a new page in my art journal. I say to myself be brave and put aside my doubts–take that step; from there I get to explore possibilities in life and in my art.
