WINNING IS A HABIT THAT YOU CAN START TODAY!

Winning is a habit that you can start today!  Winning happens through persevering at all costs.  As an individual, it is not how hard that you can hit.  It is how hard of a hit or dire circumstances that you can endure and stay focused on your goal or mission.  You have to weather several storms in order to get to the zone that few enter for only a brief moment.  Everyday is an opportunity to be able to institute change and make your life, or anyone in this world better.  Encouragement is among some of the most powerful tools you can freely give to everyone that you come in contact with.  Encouragement can spread like a wildfire or overtake a desperate situation like an avalanche.  Leadership is another foundation stone that can catapult you into the success or win column!  The rate of "The Pack" is set by the LEADERSHIP.  KEEP WINNING!!!  Remember that you have gold now!  After you have WON you have PLATINUM/DIAMONDS to add to the GOLD you possess.

Happy Accidents or Discoveries! Winning is a Habit!

If you work your craft as often as you can, you will discover a "Happy Accident."  A Happy Accident is something that occurs by accident.  It would be similar to the commercial of chocolate accidentally falling into peanut butter to create a new treat!  Keep working and discovering the new limits to the mediums that you work with.  KEEP WINNING!

New Month Time to Move Forward!

Today starts a new month.  Now is the time to move forward with renewed energy and accomplish several projects!  It is not to late to become an artist or become and active artist!  It is all in the planning, timing and the energy that you bring to the table.  It is your choice for how fast or far that you are going to run.  I have been blessed to be able to set a pace for others to follow in the Military and Civilian sectors.  If you choose to be an artist, be the best at what you do!  It will lead to you winning, by accomplishing all of your goals and dreams.  Remember there are going to be those that are there for you and those that resist you being productive.  Align yourself with people that are positive and productive to position and encourage yourself towards success.  Keep Winning!!!

Friends of Artist Carl Childs

New information will be posted about opportunities to purchase my work and support community events.  I'm constantly working different events in several communities and I'm interested in partnering with individuals to reach more people with the arts. 

Support Community Events

This past Saturday was the Home Grown Music Fest in Gastonia.  I was the featured visual artist that displayed paintings, prints and ceramics.  It was a tremendous boost to my art followers.  Most important it was an opportunity to speak life into every situation in Gastonia and the surrounding areas.  It takes the will of the entire community to create as many positive individuals as possible.  It is important for everyone to know that they are not alone.  You have people that love and will help you through whatever you may go through.  As an artist, I use several mediums to communicate and inspire the world.  I choose to share my talents, build and encourage others to win.  KEEP WINNING!

Appreciate the Skill of the Artist (PART 1)

Appreciate the skill of the Artist!   When it comes to being an artist, we are able to do and create things that most people don't achieve.  When the car isn't working, people complain but pay whatever the cost is to get it fixed.   When the dentist says there needs to be some work done, you pay the price on way or another.  You make arrangements, or have "jacked teeth".  When you go to your favorite restaurant and order your meal.  You pay, and you should be tipping your waiter or waitress for good or excellent service.   These are all examples of individuals, I also will include or declare them to be artist. 

I know how to cook really well.  I can out cook 2-3 generations of several families.  It does take an artist to prepare the food of the highest quality and full of robust flavor.  It takes an artist, to see what you could look like with or without good teeth.  It takes an artist, to get your car working again.  Every one's skill has value.

Visual & Performing artists', work, skill, time and teaching ability all have value.  I teach artists how to introduce, build and establish value for their craft.  It doesn't matter if your craft is paper, wood, crayon, marker, fiber, clay, ink ect.  It all has value, and a place in this world.  Everyone has a beautiful voice on the inside.  Artist take that voice and manifest it into something beautiful for others to be encouraged and grab joy.

I encourage artist at every level to continue to produce your work.  1. It increases your skill level. 2. It will bring joy and understand to you.  3. Don't cheat the world out of an opportunity to see something amazing from you. 4. You can generate a stream of income from your efforts.  5. You will eventually gain followers, supports and sponsors. 6. You will encourage others to have the courage that you show.  7. You are ensuring that the arts will be strong and alive in the future.  8. You will have opportunities to beautify your community.  9.  Your passion for what you do will encourage others to fight and overcome fear.  10.  You will have testimony to share with anyone that you choose to share the inside story with.  KEEP WINNING
