I&#8217;ve always been afraid that I would never be able to support my wife and two kids, let alone pay for my mortgage every month as an artist.  <\/p>\n<p>Within a week of quiting my job I sold a large painting.  It was enough to get started and believe in myself.  It also freed up time, which gave me more energy to paint and enjoy life.  I&#8217;m now able to apply to art shows through the U.S., something I couldn&#8217;t have done while working construction.  I&#8217;m still only a couple of months into this journey, but it feels great. I just want to thank &#8220;The Secret&#8221; for opening my mind again. I hope to write back and tell you more about my accomplishments.  Thanks again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple months back I saw &#8220;The Secret&#8221; on pay per view and decided to watch it.
