Georgia O’Keeffe & Going for Your Dream
October 20, 2009 by Mary Emma Allen
While watching a documentary about artist Georgia O’Keeffe, as I taught an art class today, I was struck by her determination to find her own way, go her own way. She mentioned she “took hold of most anything I wanted” and essentially went for it.

Can’t we apply this philosophy to our home business?
I found it interesting that after I wrote yesterday’s blog post, Are You “Taking Flight” with Your Home Business, I watched this documentary in class during my substitute teaching work. It seemed a continuation of that theme I had addressed.
In a way, Georgia O’Keeffe had a home business. She sketched and painted from her many abodes. Even when she was teaching, in the early years, Ms. O’Keeffe was working at her art from her home.
Her philosophy need not apply only to art. Decide what you want to do and go for it, within the bounds of what is possible at this period of your life. If you can’t accomplish everything now, don’t give up, but continue in your pursuit, as Georgia O’Keeffe did.
