This image will not change until this person does.

The image we picture of ourselves controls the temperature of our life. We won’t see changes in our life until we alter our self image.

We know this.

We also know this.

This knowledge is the artist’s starting point.

We are artists (whether we accept this or not).

We know this.

Go!

We die knowing one intimately.

And if we overcome fear and doubt, two.
