    Interesting, I think the power of networking is under estimated, if that makes sense.

    Makes perfect sense. I can honestly say without the networks I built and without taking advice from others a lot more seasoned than myself, I would have achieved probably 20% of what I have now.

    • A painting is a record of the extremely intensified moments of life – where more than one space, two senses of time, more than the law even seems at work, where the emotional forces seem to be propelling one to a dangerous limit, where reason and explanations become too enfeebled or too speeded-up to matter."

    From good ol' AA Milne -

    "It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine"

    Some of my all time favourite quotes are from Winnie the Pooh, and this one is quite powerful when dealing with mental struggles IMO.

    Just been to seen the film Sully which was great but a Sully quote I love that wasn't in the film was:
    "For 42 years, I've been making small, regular deposits in the bank of experience, education and training, on January 15 the balance was sufficient so that I could make a very large withdrawal."

    "Goal setting is similar to travelling from point A to point B within a city. If you clearly understand what the goal is, you will definitely reach the destination because you know its address."

    To go against the dominant thinking of your family, friends and those people you associate with everyday, is perhaps the most difficult act of courage you will ever perform. LB.
