    I still need to work on just letting myself be.  Thanks so much for the reminder. :)  

  • Yoyo Mace

    I’d be a philanthropist and benefactor for the arts!

    a ballerina – I’m already a sarcastic guy. 
    I do like the idea in your truism poster.  I pinned it over on my pinterest board called “one-liners”.  I was lucky (?) to not get my negative thoughts get in my way when I was young.  I had goals and went after them.  I made a few and few I didn’t.  Failure is a positive thing too if you have the right attitude about it.

      One-liners is a great name for a board. You’d make a very unique ballerina. The industry could use some diversity.

        thanks but here’s an example of what my ballerina talent might be:

    Seriously, when things seem difficult I try to remind myself to get out of the damn way LOL I’d still be a writer but I’d be a professional interviewer, documenting the stories of fascinating people.

    Love that print.  I would open m own children’s bookstore complete with puppet shows and a small treat stand.  Hmmmm….
    Hope all is well with you!
    Best,
    Tina

      Oh, I’d love to be part of one of the puppet shows. How fun!

    LOVE IT! This will be my first ‘pin,’ thanks UM.

      I’m so honored to be your first.

    I’d be rich. At least, that’s what I choose to believe. Actually, that’s not true at all. I’d be broke as hell, but happy. Um… like I am now. Hm… I’m not good at this question.

  • Masshole Mommy

    Yep – that’s pretty much how I ended up writing, too!  Love this.

  • Cristina-ColombianaenCA

    I love this! Exactly how I feel!

  • LL Cool Joe

    That’s what I did too and became a dj.  Good message.

    I pinned this today on Pinterest and just love it…. I wrote “Just write!” ;)

      Thank you, Bren!

    Sometimes when i over think too much I end up being less productive and less creative. I need to remember to let go and let me be me. Did I just make sense? ;)

    • http://www.unknownmami.com/ unknownmami

      You did make sense, but then you questioned yourself.

  • VM Sehy Photography

    A photographer.  Well, one that makes a living at it I suppose.

  • Ttownsend

    I love this. :)

    If I could get out of my own way I would take better photographs. 

    • http://www.unknownmami.com/ unknownmami

      You are on your way with that one. I know it.

      • http://liquidmindsoul.blogspot.com/ CiCi Winningham

        Thanks. I appreciate your encouragement.

    Very interesting statement.

  • Myya Says…

    So true!  I wish that I was better with punctuation because then i would feel much better about my “writing” skills.  LOL
