Quote on Art

To make your art great, one must always be in a mode of attack.  It's the same frame of mind you put yourself in when critiquing others work.  Once you fall in love with it, it becomes too precious to even think about touching.

A CS Lewis Analogy of the Day

A great analogy from CS Lewis heard today on a Ravi Zacharias podcast: "When a ship is on the high seas, at least three questions must be answered.  Question number one: How do we keep the ship from sinking?  Number two: How do we keep it from bumping into other ships?  Number three: why is the ship out there in the first place?" The first of the questions deals with personal ethics.  The second addresses social ethics.  The third one wrestles with normative ethics.

On Belief

Belief is one of the most potent and powerful human abilities.  Belief can accomplish unbelievable things, some of these things through simple alteration of our own brain's chemistry.  When we truly believe in our abilities, something changes in us physically.  Synaptic connections re-route and conform, and before you know it that belief has become a fact. When we believe in ourselves, those around believe in us too.  It's evident most obviously in our confidence, but also in an infinite amount of undetectable behaviors that others pick up on subconsciously.       Suppose you wished you were an incredibly good fighter.  The first step is to practice, no doubt.  However, the next is to BELIEVE you are a great fighter.  When you truly believe this, your behavior will change.  You start to believe more and little things start to fall in to place.  The way you walk changes, you're more confident.  Maybe you walk like a great fighter.  You sit smugly when someone taunts you.
