"One of the main aims in writing practice is to learn to trust your own mind and body; to grow patient and nonaggressive."American Writer/Painter
1948 -
Do you trust yourself — your mind, your thoughts, your dreams, your desires, your hopes? Do you trust your body — how you walk, how you dance, the sound of your stomach gurgling, the pain in your left knee? Many of us don't trust our own instincts. We put our faith in others. Maybe it is a parent, a friend, a spouse of even a spiritual leader. We believe what they say to be true. We need to learn to listen to that small tiny voice inside us that knows the way. This voice is the first one we hear before we quickly move on to our more rational voice. How many times have you felt something to be true in your gut but you have chosen to do what your rational mind said? Learn to trust yourself and to believe in yourself.(The source of this quote is the book, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within, by Natalie Goldberg. Every creative leader should read this book multiple times.)
