The fact is that my experience of exploring the right sales venues is just the normal course of business. The only problem comes when we take it as failure or rejection. -Ann Thank you Tobias.

In fact that kind of sums up much my artistic life right now - not just the frustration part but what I am trying to do about it - as opposed to wallowing in discouragement and all that goes along with that. It's so easy to get annoyed at ourselves for making 'mistakes' or putting ourselves in situations that don't seem to be moving us forward... but in fact mistakes are our greatest teachers. If we are afraid to make mistakes, we will never learn much at all. Thanks again for your perspective... ----- tobias tinker www.cliffjump.net - a blog about fearlessness and creativity Hi Ann, thanks for that – wise words and a wise response to a frustrating situation.
