Motivation, Insecurity, Mediocity, Etc.
 

I was grousing about my work yesterday and Chris Saper told me about this website, which is a spoof of motivational products:
www.despair.com

Be sure to click around to see the products, I'm thinking of ordering the "Insecuri-Tee".
:)

I saw this site a couple years ago - the posters that make fun of the motivational posters you see in offices are hilarious.

Linda,

Did I mention "The War of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle" by Steven Pressfield to you in Washington? If not, consider it mentioned. It is a "must-have" on every artist's bookshelves, I'd say. It is really a superb book for anyone who has to be self-motivated; writers, artists, self-employed professionals, etc.. I'm currently rereading it.

Thanks for the hilarious link, too. That guy is too clever.

Best.

Thanks, Juan! Here's the link to the book. It looks like a good one.

I picked up that book when I was in the U.S. last year. A few months ago I was having trouble continuing with art (as usual for me) so I picked it up and after reading just a few pages I was back to doing art again, and not only that but really wanted to be doing so. I

That's good to hear Carolyn. Same with me sometimes; just reading a few pages oftent gets the gears rolling a little better.
