PrefaceIn any creative endeavor, we have to have a strong and clear inner game in order

to be our best. We have to feel condent enough to be daring and take creativerisks. This mindset of the successful creative producer is what it takes to get

outside of our comfort bubble and try new things.

When youre going for it with your goal, sometimes things will get tough... but

the beautiful truth is that you can simply re-calibrate and keep going. When you

have setbacks, I encourage you to let them go, forgive yourself, and move on.

All we need to do is change our thinking. Jesus said, Repent, for the kingdom of

heaven is at hand. In other words, Change your way of thinking your mindset

because harmony is right here, right now.

Changing our thinking, though, is not a lonely adventure. We all need a helping

hand from time to time. Life is not a do-it-yourself project. There is no such thing

as a self-made success. You help me; I help you and in this way, we both climb

higher and higher.

The following quotes are words of inspiration that I call upon most often. This is

a collection of the thoughts that have provided me support, guidance, and insight

when I need it most.

You can experience a correction, a positive change today right now! I hope the

following pages will provide you the same kind of moments of revelation and

inspiration that they have provided me.
