Ever been in a situation where fears rule your life, where you know there is something better, or at least a better way to be?

The creativity process started for me over 2 years ago, an interview at a Tafe College 'an introduction into fine arts'. I remember sitting there, feeling as though I was back at school listening to the teacher. I never liked school I was a very insecure sensitive child on many levels. I could feel the fear coming up, feeling trapped, tests, failure, what if? As the teacher spoke I could see how different it was from school. I am no longer the child but an adult, I was asked, "why do you want to do this course?" and what I said was "I want to let go". Well, after listening to what he had to say I was so excited I signed right there and then. First day at school little lunch packed and a box of nerves to boot. I had never drawn or painted and this course went on for 6 months, 2 days a week. I had never seen so many fears, comparisons and insecurities in myself as I had in those 6 months. "Not good enough" "what if I fail?" "I am too stupid to do this"
