Strong Foundations
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined. ~ Thoreau
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.
~ Henry David Thoreau
Growing up as an artrealist, I always seemed to have one foot in the clouds and one foot on the ground. I realized recently that while this allowed me the opportunity to dream big, it did not provide me with a strong, firm foundation.
Discovering this, I have literally gone back to the basics and am re-examining and changing every aspect of who I am and how I view the world – I am building the firm foundation.
I have changed the way I eat, changed where I live and work, re-committed to my growth, overcome many of my fears, and allowed new people into my life.
I even learned to ask for help when I needed it. Wow was that a hard one for me!
True growth and lasting change occur when you have both the vision and the firm foundation to support the vision.
As I build a firmer foundation, I am finding that life feels different and how I approach life, people, opportunities and challenges is different. It’s new and exciting – and yes, sometimes scary.
When I get scared, I just remember that being scared is actually excitement in disguise. I have nothing to fear and nothing to lose by stepping forward in to my life – a life that is full of delightful dreams AND a firm foundation.
