  A comment on Conversation: What's your excuse for not pursuing your passion?

  Mar 15 2012: At times, I let the critical/judgmental voice inside my head voice its opinion too much: "You don't know what you're doing...you're NOT an artist...you don't have the funds..." So, now I visualize putting duck tape over that negative mouth and say YES YOU CAN! 2012 has been a year of YES: learned to ski, surf and learning to play the cello (One of my GREAT passions)! Throw away all weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong, and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself.” – Swami Vivekananda
