The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron

1. There is something enlivening about expanding our self-definition, and a risk does exactly that.

2. Selecting a challenge and meeting it creates a sense of self-empowerment that becomes the ground for further successful challenges.

3. Viewed this way, running a marathon increases your chances of writing a full-length play.


I promise (truly I do!)... I had NO IDEA that the whole "challenge" concept would appear on those pages. This book sits on my desk because I'm working through the exercises and morning pages of the "program."

But I do like the endorsement of CHALLENGES.

Spot on.
Vive la Defi!
