Do Work Always

There is a quote that has been going around now from Ira Glass. 

(from here)

This is an incredible and powerful quote and is something that is important to remind yourself amongst other things like measure twice and cut once, you’re really not that important, and brush your teeth twice a day.

The summer before my senior year of high school I attended a prestigious dance festival in North Carolina.    I took a class with the director of the festival on choreography, I had a senior project this coming year and this class was going to help make this performance EPIC.  She told me one day after I hated my work for the day that its ok to make bad work, just keep going.  I told her "I don't have time for that, it has to be great."  TRUE STORY.

Someone really should have told me it was dance camp....and stop being such an asshole teenager

So do work...always, bad work, excellent work...all of it is purposeful.

"Go confidently in the directions of your reams, live the life you have imagined"

-H.D.thoreau

This girl is obviously kicking at going confidently in the directions of her dreams.  I've seen this picture all over, but I thought it relevant for this post.  If anyone knows where it originated...please share...that person needs A LOT of credit and praise...that kid does too.

 To the point... GO confidently in the direction of your dreams...or even...just go...stay moving towards what it is you wish to accomplish. It may not be confidently, it may be scared-out-of-your-mind....’ly’ in the direction of your dreams...just keep moving forward...this just be the year that I (We?) learn patience.  

  For A Year In Ink...it is to be a full fledged business with invitations, calligraphy and stationary (and maybe other items) by years end...and probably to have someone besides myself read this blog...that seems somewhat reasonable as well.
