Art that makes me say: Wow I should Reblog This~

I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes. There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission). And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.

However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences

>> Shipping Preferences

>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!

First, thanks for listening.  For those of you who don’t know what we are talking about, the interview is here https://soundcloud.com/creativetrek/e-8-brett-bean-how-a-good-attitude-can-lead-to-great-work/s-kaagl

Focus is tough and there will always be slip ups, but they are both necessary and unavoidable.  They let you know if you are on the right track or the wrong track.  Your “mediator” just needs to determine which ones are dream based, and which are fear based. 

Focus arrives but then can easily dissipate.  That’s when fear steps in.  Will I never be good enough?  What about bills?  Letting down my family?  They’re all gonna laugh at you!  etc etc.

It’s just the way it is.  It’s how you DEAL with it that matters.  People beat themselves up for having emotions or fear.  To me, it’s just part of the game.  It’s when you allow them to dictate your life is when you should be mad at yourself.  But I allow them to happen.  If it’s a particularly bad episode and if I have to, I let myself throw me a pity party.  I’m allowed a day for it.  Feel bad, mope around, throw over a blanket and play a video game until my eyes bleed…..  Pity Party, woohoo, invitation for 1 please….

And then the party is over.  Time to get up, attack it, and beat it.  In any way I can.  Little by little or jumping into the deep end.  Just whatever I can tackle.  That’s different for everyone.

So we all go through it.  I dealt with it how I deal with everything.  All pieces of your life get moments.  But it’s up to you to dictate how long each moment lasts.  Sooner or later, as things get easier to manage, the moments get to last longer (the good), get shorter (the bad), or come back once a year to decimate your ego (the ugly).  I realized long ago that any decision that doesn’t deal with bodily harm or injury is fine.  You can pretty much reverse anything you decide from a job, where you live, what to eat, or who to trust.  You can fix any of that.  You just gotta make the effort to re adjust when it’s had it’s moment.

But it happens.  Focus on little steps if you are in the middle of one.

You can do this.

If I can and continue to, I know you can too.

Good luck

Cheers,

Ms. Shawna Mills, aka LazyMills has been on my radar for some time. Hailing from my hometown of NYC, the soft spoken 2D animator/concept designer’s work does a lot of the talking with it’s loud, boisterous and “IDGAF” treatment to shape laws and rules. She’s one of my favorite people working and she’s one of the few ladies of color in animation who has their own voice.
