If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. ~Vincent Van Gogh
I have a stubborn streak.
Anyone who knows me will attest to this, and most likely follow it with "Uh, yah, that's an understatement!"
I'm not ashamed of my stubbornness, it has carried me far.
The best way to get me to do something is to imply that it cannot be done,
or rather, that I cannot do it...
WATCH ME!
I like a challenge.
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
I detest those brief moments of darkness when I feel like I may not be shining at my brightest...
and I will change like the seasons if things are not moving in a direction I desire.
I don't fear change, nor the uncertainty that moves in like a slow fog...the thing I fear is mediocrity.
I prefer to dream big. I prefer to be extraordinary.

I agree - being told you can't do something tends to make me want to do it. As a little girl, I asked, " why can't I go to the church breakfast?" It was father/son. Well, my father worked the system so they had the father/daughter breakfast. There you go. Boundaries are meant to be broken.
