or nothing worthwhile will catch up to you.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The finest thing in the world is knowing how to belong to oneself.&#8221;
~Michel de Montaigne

WHAT WILL THEY THINK?

You are a separate individual, whole and unique.
But how often do you look to others for acceptance, approval, love and support?
Differentiation is the ability to see yourself as a separate individual and to connect thoughtfully with your wants [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=feedingthestarvingartist.wordpress.com&blog=1184135&post=39&subd=feedingthestarvingartist&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

HOW TO EAT AN ELEPHANT
Somewhere between a clear vision of your future and the actual attainment of your goals is a large empty space waiting to be filled.  But what goes in that space?  How do you get from where you are now [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=feedingthestarvingartist.wordpress.com&blog=1184135&post=38&subd=feedingthestarvingartist&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>WORRY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It only seems as if you are doing something when you&#8217;re worrying.&#8221;
~Lucy Maud Montgomery
WORRIED?
How much of your life is consumed by worry?  That gnawing, aching, lung-crushing, mind-numbing belief that things might, will or have gone wrong.
Most worry is completely unfounded.  Much of what you&#8217;ve dreaded has probably never come true.  And the bad things that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=feedingthestarvingartist.wordpress.com&blog=1184135&post=36&subd=feedingthestarvingartist&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

~ Ben Franklin

WHAT&#8217;S MY MOTIVATION?
Once you decide what you really, really, really, really, really want in life, you may want to ask why.
&#8220;What&#8217;s my motivation?&#8221; the actor ponders.
Motivation isn&#8217;t something some of us have and others don&#8217;t. We&#8217;re all motivated by something specific-money, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=feedingthestarvingartist.wordpress.com&blog=1184135&post=35&subd=feedingthestarvingartist&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

RIDING THE WAVES
Like the captain of a ship, your vision determines your course. As you ride the waves, steering and maneuvering, every choice you make moves you closer to or further from your destination.
So, where [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=feedingthestarvingartist.wordpress.com&blog=1184135&post=33&subd=feedingthestarvingartist&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.    ~ Robert Schuller

GIVE ME SOME AIR
Are you paralyzed by perfectionism, want to do something or be someone, but simply can&#8217;t for fear you may not do it well?
Perfectionism can kill creativity.  Like fireflies in a well-sealed jar, slowly you suffocate.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=feedingthestarvingartist.wordpress.com&blog=1184135&post=30&subd=feedingthestarvingartist&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
