Land of Can Do
Whining has relatives, bored and excuses to name two.
If you are bored, then you are boring.
Excuses. I can’t paint because the light isn’t right; I can’t paint with people watching me; I don’t have a studio; I don’t have a studio that’s big enough; I don’t have the right color oils; I can’t write at night; I can’t compose in the morning; and all the “I can’ts and don’ts” in the universe keep one a prisoner from entering the land called “can do.” Count and keep a log of how many negative thoughts you have in a single day; the number and their cumulative effect will startle you.
For more about excuses (don’t put it off), read No Whining inside the main site gallery.
