The process of making my cartoons is what I want to experience the most joy in; that keeps me cartooning. Not worrying about whether anyone would like or buy my creations just keeps me frozen, not working. Learning to do some kind of cartoons daily un-freezes me. I like un-frozen!

I recently wrote a post on perfectionism and how it ties in with our desire to improve or perfect our lives, if you have a moment please check it out; I'd love to share insights on the topic.

One of my all time favorite books. The prologue to this book had me laughing out loud. A very satirical, yet rational study into how we are so irrational when it comes to knowing about what will make us happy. Hilarious. Sounds like you'd enjoy Barry Neil Kaufmann's "Happiness Is A Choice". Hi Ken ~
