Taken on my Artist's Date to the nursery
                                                                   It not because things are difficult that we do not dare,  
                                                                      it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.         Seneca

 I am finding the quotes in The Artist's Way very interesting and thought provoking.  The quote above really spoke to me this week.  I love starting something new but I have found  that the first step is often the hardest step to take.  Once I get over my initial fear of failure things become so much easier.   I often compliment people on something they can do that I can't and nine times out of ten the reply is, "Oh, that is easy."  I always remind them not to take their skills for granted because something is always easy once you know how to do it.  We all have skills that we take for granted because we have used them for so long and they now come naturally.  Don't take these skills for granted.  Share them with the world.  It needs you and what you do so well. 
We all have something we want to learn or do but hesitate because it seems so difficult.  Take that first tiny baby step. See what happens.  See where that step leads you.  Sometimes you will find that you were right, it is too difficult and it is not something you want to do at all.  More times than not you will find that the first step leads to another and another until what once was difficult will become easy and natural and something you don't have to think about at all.  What step would you like to to take this week?  Take that first step and then share what you have learned with the world.  It needs you and all that you have to offer.

I was reading the chapter so lightly (not finding anything to conect to) that I forgot the side quotes. Thanks for the reminder. :)
When Tati (my daughter, age 12) tells me a school exam was easy I remind her how much she had prepared for it. It is easy when you know the answers/how to solve things. :D

Very nice thoughts! I see it the same way. I often find, that it's "nothing" what I am doing, because it's so easy for me. I really have to change this "it is nothing"-thought!

Love the Seneca quote... it is so right on... and I love how you have integrated it into your art and writing AND the fact you are so willing to share your discoveries here.

Your Sunday quotes always inspire me, and this one is no exception. I like the idea that we all have talents, and we all have something to share with the world!
