There should be a maximum quota of adulting allowed per day. Adults who go over the top should be penalized with 60 additional minutes of play for each extra minute of worry. #andreabalt #ifiwaspresident #randomactsofwisdom

Brief is our time, too fast the spinning, too slow the love, stardust - our longing, louder our heartbeats, fading our song, blinks of infinity our stories, still still - our souls. #andreabalt #randomactsofwisdom #leaf #poetry

Don't declare a world impossible until you've tried to build it with your hands and when your pulse shakes like a leaf, say, "Sure", "Let's try", "Why not?" #andreabalt #randomactsofwisdom

Self-sabotage (n.) - When you are just about to step into a new dimension & sense your life is already changing in ways you hadn't even thought possible & the beautiful unknown is so close you can almost feel it breathing on your neck... and yet at the last minute your fear grabs you by the throat & says: If this should happen, one of us must die. HINT: Be a creative gladiator. Til death of fear or you. Just do it anyway. #andreabalt #randomactsofwisdom

Feel the fear but do it anyway. Turn it into your friend. Don't let it paralyze you. Use it to fuel your creative revolution. #andreabalt #RandomActsOfWisdom (at Shakespeare And Company Paris)

Notes from my artist dates with self. She loves the smell of ink & coffee. One sip she is the shipwreck. Another, she's the lighthouse. You can never tell with these creatures. The heart turned art is bottomless. (at ABONAVIDA)

It's not about what you have, it's about what you do with the gifts you've been given. #andreabalt #randomactsofwisdom

Whatever your battle, you're not fighting an army. You're fighting your perception. #andreabalt #RandomActsOfWisdom

Don't be content with a possibility. Fight to become a fact. #andreabalt #RandomActsOfWisdom
