I wanted to mention the importance of reminding yourself daily to stay focused and present with what it is you are actually doing at that moment. I feel if you don’t do this, you will not be able to train your mind, and the same issues will keep resurfacing. Lat week, My mind was starting to wonder, I was starting to get anxious and frustrated with all the work I had to do. I then walked over to a pad of paper, wrote down my list for that day and week and said to myself I am just working on this specific task right now, I happen to be packing books to send off, so I just focused on that, I also started to sing, that helps to be present so that your not thinking of all the future stuff that you will get to shortly. Stay focused on your present action, you will also do it more efficiently. All these actions made my mind at ease again and really happy. So do what ever you need to do to remind yourself of the present moment on a daily basis, it will make your day go by with ease. Have a great week. Silver

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.
~Lucille Ball
When I read this quote, I thought to myself, I learned this very lesson, too. There was a point in my life when I was drawing caricatures in theme parks and put myself down a lot. I wanted to be better at drawing and didn’t really know what direction I wanted to take in life. One day, I made the decision to get busy and start learning how to draw.
The first thing I did was take a life drawing class as well as studied some of the great artists. When I started to believe in myself, I realized that I could accomplish anything I set my mind to do. It has been a way of life for me ever since.
So keep busy, keep practicing, stay positive and enjoy every moment.
Welcome to Passion for Life
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009I have met many artists in my life, many of whom just seem to be unfulfilled in their journey as an artist. And I feel it is the same for any profession. I personally believe that when we start our journey, we have a great passion, a burning desire to draw that establishes our goals in which we want to achieve. These goals may consist of getting that job in the studio, the project we wanted to do and then we may find that once that happens we can become dormant and stop setting those goals, it then turns into complaints, frustration and then the constant questioning of “what is it that I really want to do”. I would like this group to be about reminding ourselves of the importance of setting new goals, creating that passion, the vision, the courage and the perseverance to excite your artistic dreams again. Feel free to give tid bits on what motivates and inspires you. And if you don’t write it here, write it down somewhere for yourself, so that you are reminded every day of what it is you truly desire.
