Episode 3, Video 4: is support mandatory for success?
March 1, 2010
Hello everyone! Happy March! I gotta tell ya, I think we must all truly have Spring on the brain, because we were supposed to post this video last week, and it just didn't happen! Eek. So sorry! I don't know what to say other than that the cold weather has certainly taken its toll on my brain, and I imagine there are many others like me out there!
So, please forgive our tardiness in getting this last episode about SUPPORT out to you. Pretty please? :)
We also have one more giveaway for the month of February (and the beginning of March now!)-- it's another set of Practice Kindness Window Cards, so make sure you check out the third video in this support series to see what they're all about! Comment below to win-- we'll be picking the 4 February winners in just a few days, so you'll want to check back when we post our first video in March all about MONEY to see if you're one of the 4 winners. Yay for winning!
{Oh, and ps-- our March videos sound SO MUCH BETTER. We apologize again for the annoying ringing in the background!}

Fantastic! Really loved the tightrope analogy - & how Carolyn brought it together at the end saying, there was no way she could fall because the rope was on the ground in her situation --- so good! Been lovin' on these videos! Tweeting & FBing this! xoxo
I think we all know individuals who've succeeded in spite of tremendous odds, and with little appreciation or support from others. So it can certainly be done. But it takes a very strong individual with an insurmountable passion. In part because my family was not supportive of my interest in art, I went in a very different direction, and because I was successful and rewarded for what I did, it became a self-perpetuating situation. As a result, I spent more years than I should have doing things that I did well, but that I didn't love.
The courage I had to make major changes came from my own recognition that it was "now or never," yet I'm not sure I could have done it without the unconditional support of my amazing husband, who believes in me and in what I can accomplish even when I don't believe it myself. My heart goes out to those who lack a support system, and I'm filled with admiration for the ones who refuse to let that stop them from creating the kind of life they want.
I love this video and the sentiment--totally worth the ringing noise ;-). And I am starting my own good stuff folder--thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for another thought provoking post! I liked the tight rope analogy as well. It is true that it is higher off the ground once you accumulate years and responsibilities...but I liked the idea that the rope is still the same whether it is close to the ground or higher up. I'm gonna hold that image in my mind for the next little while as I am trying to gather courage to move forward with my life into new and bigger things. Thanks again for sharing!
i am in a place where i do need support because i have had so much "neh saying" from my family.
