69. January 20, 2012: Let Go of Expectations
From the post:
"Keep in mind, I'm not telling you to lower your expectations. I'm telling you to let go of your expectations. They are different statements.
- Lowering your expectations is about expecting (and accepting) less.
- Letting go of your expectations is about assuming nothing and embracing whatever may come.
I promise you that even if nothing about your art journaling changes, changing your attitude about it will make the process and the outcome much more pleasurable."
