The need and urgency of positive thinking for one who was born a pessimist is utterly important.
I am an awfully negative person. Always self sabotaging. As Audrey describes this syndrome--I am the first in line to throw tomatoes at myself.
I never once think that I am good enough. I find it ridiculous that one can ever think in such perfect and satisfying ways of herself.
Having positive thoughts about myself has been the toughest challenge as an artist. I think all artists who sincerely care for their art will agree with me. You spend all night dreaming, practicing, and living in your art. You can't help but to want to make it the best out there. Yes, we are all perfectionists.
Somewhere along the line, you must acknowledge the hardwork you've invested in your art. You must realize that you are not perfect and not everyone will love what you do after all. And it's alright...
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. So am I. I am entitled to my own opinions.
The fact is, in my life, my opinions matter the most. I write my own script.
So why let negative things in life bog me down? They don't matter if I don't believe in them.
I believe in creating art to make this world a better place. I believe I can be the best out there. I believe I was born to do this. I believe that opera is worth saving. I believe in making the best out of my talents.
What I believe matters the most.
The more I learn to do this, the bigger my world becomes. I know so little. Ironically, I find that comforting. It is good to learn that you will never stop learning.
There is no limit to life.
