That's what I believe. I want to help my friends out as much a possible so I've set up this new section.
If you have a site that you would like me to link to, send it to me and I will include it here.
If you have some art, music, anything that you would like to show via this website,
email me the information and we'll put it here.
I will do my best to help you all out. Just let me know if you have an idea or a question...
anything!!
Put Your Link/Art/Music Here ...Do it!

Following/Accomplishing A Dream
|
Here's an exercise from a book I've been following called The Artist's Way. I thought I would
put it here because it's very pertinent to following/accomplishing your-and-my dreams. Try it out! This is taken
straight from the book:
Goal Search: You may find the following exercise difficult. Allow yourself to do it anyway. If multiple dreams occur to you, do the exercise for each
one of them. The simple act of imagining a dream in concrete detail helps us to bring it into reality. Think of your goal search as a preliminary architect's
drawing for the life you would wish to have.
The Steps
Name your dream. That's right. Write it down. "in a perfect world, I would secretly love to be a ___. Name one concrete goal that signals to you its accomplishment. On your emotional compass, this goal signifies
true north.
(Note: two people may want to be an actress. They share that dream. For one, an article in People magazine is the concrete goal.
To her, glamour is the emotional center for her dream; glamour is true north. For the second actress, the concrete goal is a good review
in a Broadway play. To her, respect as a creative artist is the emotional center of her dream; respect is true north. Actress one might be
happy as a soap star. Actress two would need stage work to fulfill her dream. On the surface, both seem to desire the same thing.) In a perfect world, where would you like to be in five years in relation to your dream and true north? In the world we inhabit now, what action can you take, this year, to move you closer? What action can you take this month? This week? This day? Right now? List your dream (for example, to be a famous film director). List true north (respect and higher consciousness, mass communication.) Select
a role model (Walt Disney, Ron Howard, Michael Powell). Make an action plan. Five years. Three years, One year. One month. One week. Now.
Choose an action.
