Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant. Let me expand a bit. I sense that you may feel that I am free of problems. Let me assure you that I have the same anxieties and insecurities as anyone in this auditorium – maybe more ~ Cary Grant
One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again ~ Abraham Maslow
Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction ~ Germany Kent
The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.”
[Modernism’s Patriarch (Time Magazine, June 10, 1996)]
Robert Hughes
Let others determine your worth and you’re already lost, because no one wants people worth more than themselves.”
― Peter V. Brett
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.
Fear is the result of a lack of confidence. A lack of confidence is the result of not knowing what you can do. A lack of knowing what you can do is caused by a lack of experience. A lack of experience is caused by a lack of doing something new.
