Way of the Artist - Teaser Ep #037 - "The Creative Side of Boundaries" - It is a tremendous gift to set your boundaries and to be clear about them with yourself and others.

- Fear is often used by us to excuse ourselves, but it is actually an opportunity for each of us to discover ourselves. The ultimate fear usually comes down to the fear of death, and so we decided to confront it head-on in this conversation. Since we will all die at some point, as far as we know, we may as well accept this and simply go forth in our lives with courage. We dive into the idea of how...

- The progress game can get us caught up in measuring ourselves in the wrong ways because we don't always see the wholeness of what really matters most.

The error is when we are measuring for something that may not ac...

- The past and the future can play into our present moment and make us feel as though we are stuck on a certain track in our lives. We can accidently use worry and evidence of past events to get ourselves bound to a story we must live out.

- In this discussion we talk about the value of having a system and the courage it takes to abandon it when we reach its limits. We venture down the road of how systems, rules, guidelines and structure serve us up to a point.
