In 2019 and 2020 I made 25 paintings each year. In 2021 I made 42 paintings. How is it possible that I made almost twice as many paintings 2021? And how was I doing it while reducing my hours?

“Accountability is the opportunity to live at choice rather than accidentally.
Accountability is the opportunity to carve out the future rather than to sit back and have it happen to you.
Accountability held from a stand as one's word is the ground from which one's own transformation is created on-goingly.
Transformation lives in accountability.
Without accountability, without committed speaking, without promises and declarations, there is no transformation; there is, at best, peak feelings.
A promise has real power.
A promise made from the stand that “who you are is your word” engages you as participant. You cease to be spectator, and your words become actions that actually impact the world.
With a promise, you create a condition that supports your commitment rather than your moods.
When motivational dialogue comes up about your preference versus your commitments, and you disregard the dialogue in favor of doing what you said you would do, solely because you said so, you distinguish yourself from your psychology. In that moment, you are your word as an action, rather than only as an idea you have.
In that moment, the promise becomes who you are rather than something you said; and your relationship to the world shifts. You find yourself producing results that seem discontinuous and unpredictable from the point of view of the spectator.
The experience is one of joy, fearlessness, irrepressible energy, and satisfaction.Accountability is the opportunity to live at choice rather than accidentally.
