Weekly Inspiration: Enthusiasm
Michelle is packed to the brim with this week’s inspiration: enthusiasm. Enthusiastic people can sometimes be criticized for their intensity (which happens to Michelle from time to time), but according to this ball of energy…intense people should never hold back. Enthusiasm is akin to passion and passion is the common DNA all art shares. The greatest leaders and artists in history embraced their enthusiasm and ultimately changed the course of humankind, so bring on the intensity, babes!
