luvpiggy, thanks for the kind words and reminder.
i think that i may fall into that category of a thinker and dreamer (my wife would certainly say so), as the things that i want in life are achievable, but lofty nontheless.
all through my life, i start things with much gusto and enthusiasm, flame out in the middle due to boredom, than kick it back up a notch to finish strong.
i could never figure out why this is. i love theatre and film, and have acted in alot of plays thus far. i have painted, drawn, etc. the bigger/ longer the project, the more my energy ebbs and flows with huge energy at the start, low energy in the middle, and moderate to high energy at the end.
it makes sense that i am a dreamer and a thinker. anyone who knows me would probably say the same.
green light activities for me would definitely be art related, but my bane has always been how to make a living as an artist. call it my fear, if you will.
but i also agree, that i need to be kinder to myself for what i do right, and less hard on myself for what i do wrong.

Hi Paul R.,
Another book that I recommend is called, "The Creative Call". It is a Christian book to encourage artists, so it depends on your religious beliefs, but it has really encouraged me in my art as well. Society doesn't value artists or make it easy to earn a living, and this book addresses ideas for dealing that as well. God is after all, "The Artist", so He definitely wants artists to use their gifts and be able to eat at the same time:). Maybe this book would be helpful. I'm going to re read it because I'm in one of my dormant phases right now:).
Take care,
luvpiggy

This is totally me, in a nutshell.Originally posted by luvpiggy:
It's not that you are lazy. It's just that you get bored easily after you come up with the idea.
My psychologist once told me that many people with anxiety also have ADD. It makes total sense because I become bored with things very easily and one of the big things that causes me anxiety is boredom.
