*** Excerpts from book ***

DAY 1
Are you ready to live the life you were meant to live?

DAY 2
An artist is not defined by his work, but by the power of his creative thought.

DAY 3
The power of creative thought can impel you to excel in any medium, in any field, and in any subject.

DAY 4
You can mold your life with the power of your mind; your thoughts can then be used to create whatever you want in life.

DAY 5
Whatever you can dream is available to you, but first you must know how to utilize your full creative potential.

DAY 6
Often we don’t accept a challenge because we fear change and commitment. Perhaps we are afraid, because we know deep down that a life like this takes unconditional passion, courage, and dedication.

DAY 7
Art is about change, exploration, and about the courage to know yourself.

DAY 8
Make no mistake—if you follow a path of conscious change you are walking in the very footsteps of giants.

DAY 9
To live a consciously creative life, you have to show the forces that be that you deserve the life you want by consistently displaying passion and dedication to your art.

DAY 10
So I ask you
When will you allow yourself the life you deserve? A voice is whispering in your ear—today is the day.

DAY 11
Think about what it would feel like to release the wondrous power that resides within you.

DAY 12
Humans are natural magicians. We are creating our reality around us all the time. We live inside the artificial worlds we have made.

DAY 13
Everything in the manmade world that surrounds us started out as a creative thought in someone’s head.

DAY 14
Creativity is our birthright as human beings. The ironic thing is that we seem to have forgotten our power as creators.

DAY 16
I guarantee you that you are naturally creative—we are all creative.

DAY 19
If we are the ones creating our lives we might as well be conscious of the process and choose what we want to create.

DAY 22
What if we are not Aladdin making wishes, but instead, we are the Genie granting those wishes to ourselves? Does this idea frighten or excite you?

DAY 23
I know of nothing that has the same potential for self-discovery and empowerment as the process of creating art.

DAY 24
The artwork that you see is the by-product of the evolutionary process of the artist.

DAY 25
Art stops time in order to teach, expose, or reveal things that are normally hidden.

DAY 26
We have this amazing, powerful gift of natural creativity until the first time that someone criticizes us.

DAY 27
Creativity is play without purpose.

DAY 28
Creative thought is native to the unconventional mind.

DAY 29
The job of the artist is to be a keen, detached observer of life.

DAY 30
Creative thought involves the capacity for introspection and time for incubation.

DAY 31
Creative thought is direct and spontaneous.

DAY 32
Creativity is fearless immersion.
