There are two types of people in this world. Those that say why and those who say why not. There are always a million reasons to not try something new. It is always more comfortable to stay put,even if where you are is totally uncomfortable. You can be in total agony and it is easier than doing something different.
I love it when people burn their safety bridges and strike out and either live or die. You work pretty hard to make something happen if you will die if you don’t make it.
I think of my gallery in Seattle, Artforte. The owner has made her mind up that she will not quit, no matter what. Lots of galleries have folded in Pioneer Square but she does not quit. She just works harder and harder. She will survive and flourish because all this recession has done is honed her skills to survive. She will laugh if things get hard because she knows what to do. She has courage and I am so proud of her. Her partner is God and she knows all these rough times will work to her benefit later on.
