Anything less than your best dishonors God
Live your dream. Do what you came here to do.
Are you doing what your heart desires, or living up to society's expectations, what friends and family think? Because the moment you start doing what you love, what you truly feel in your heart, all your cells start working for you.
There is no failure, only a process which is leading us to become the greatest version of ourselves.
The universe reveals its secrets to those that dare to follow their hearts.
Connect with those who remind you who you are.
People's opinions of us will always change, but how we see ourselves will stay with us forever.
I think loads of people see acting, when they're kids, as these magical stories that just happen within the context of the film or the play or the cartoon or whatever they're seeing. They don't imagine that there are actually people that go and do that for a living.
I had no idea Savage Season was the beginning of a series. I wrote the second one about three years later. The character of Hap wouldn't stop talking to me, and then there was a third, and over the years nine novels and a collection of stories and some uncollected stories.
The more isolated and disconnected we are, the more shattered and distorted our self-identity. We are not healthy when we are alone. We find ourselves when we connect to others. Without community we don't know who we are. . . When we live outside of healthy community, we not only lose others. We lose ourselves. . . Who we understand ourselves to be is dramatically affected for better or worse by those we hold closest to us.
I never talk when I'm drawing a person, especially if I'm making line drawings. I prefer there to be no noise at all so I can concentrate more.
