Thanks Clark! I think we all struggle with that. I've quoted Bob Moawad before, and one of my favorites of his is "Smile! Attitude is contagious." Well, in addition to attitude, I think action is contagious. The more we act on things, the easier it gets to keep acting on it. The hardest part is always getting the process started.

Thanks for the comment Daisy! It always amazes me how many people, like the vast majority of those who try out for AI, refuse to accept that singing is not a natural talent for them. The sad thing is that it is such a waste of time and energy on their part because they could (and should) be working on developing their real talents into strengths. It's great to dream big, but the possibility of success has to at least be present. I feel for these people though who don't seem to recognize the truth.

Great post! The only problem is my greatest talent seems to be for procrastination.
