Stop telling yourself, "It is too late."
Stop waiting until you make enough money to do something you would really love.
Stop telling yourself, "It is just my ego" whenever you yearn for a more creative life.
Stop telling yourself that dreams do not matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.
Stop fearing that your family and friends would think you crazy.
Stop telling yourself you can only draw stick figures, that you have no talent.
Stop telling yourself that creativity is a luxury and that you should be grateful for what you have.
