I think I can, I think I can!!!

What could you do if you didn't listen to those little voices in your head that were telling you lies??!!!!
You know, these lies.....

That's TOO big of a project, you'll NEVER be able to finish.
You can't do that, you don't have enough money.
Well, you can do that, but NOBODY will ever see it or notice it or even like it.
You might make a little bit of money, but you won't get RICH from it.
There are more people out there who have more exposure than you do, this will NEVER fly.
Out of all of the fish in the sea, do you think anyone will give you the time of day?!

Guess what??!!!! 
Those are words that I have heard in my head!  They make you feel like you can't do anything.
I'm naturally a positive person who usually wears a smile, but these thoughts creep into my head sometimes too!  If you listen to those thoughts too long, you will go crazy!
I'm here to tell you that if you have ever thought any of those things, you are not alone!!!

Get MAD at that negative voice!!!  

YOU
CAN 
DO 
THOSE
THINGS
THAT 
YOUR
HEART
WANTS 
TO 
DO!!!!!!!!!

STOP
listening to those horrible little voices!
IF IT IS A DREAM IN YOUR HEART, IT WILL FLY!!!!!

Who else is going to do this with me?
WE. CAN. DO. THIS.

Yes Y♥U CAN..Yes Y♥U CAN...Yes WE CAN!!!!!

I am plagued with those lies in my mind, and yet with a smile on my face, more times than I'd like to admit too, Janet! But I know those are stinkin thinkin untruths.. and training our brains to believe it is so worth whatever it takes.

I think those thoughts come when I am worried about the wrong thing...such as when I am comparing myself or what I create etc... to another person or what they create etc.. Not on purpose do we do this, but it happens, especially when we are entering new territory that we've not tried before. What is helping me change my stinkin thinkin is to think on how uniquely I am created and in the likeness of my creator. I have often thought, well my art isn't rich like this persons or I just don't have enough skills to go for that etc... and then God reminds me that my whimsical art style is beautiful in his eyes and whatever dreams or passions I have were put there by him and they aren't suppose to look just like someone elses because they are for ME to BE and Do. I have found that when I do stay true to believing in those passions in my own heart and don't look around to others and compare to see if it's okay first, that is when miracles begin to happen in me.... and in you!

Love you dear friend!! You can do this ....we can do this ....we can BE all God has designed us to BE. No one else can do that better!

Go Janet GO!!!!!!!!
