I came across this quotation by W.H Murray, and really found it empowering. It’s all about commitment. Commitment has brought me to many amazing places. Like painting in switzerland for example: 
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
― W.H. Murray
The way I see it. If I never made the bold move to go back to Europe outside of the Florence Academy, I would never have made this painting. I regret not going to more places to paint. We will just have to see what the future holds.
