Might see if I can get them while in holidays.<br />You're so right - a certain way of thinking and being in the company of those whose thoughts and actions you admire can really help you with your own path. <br />Tht message by Seth Godin is amazing. Just wow. Thank you. I needed to read this quote today.

There needs to be a balance between doing fun stuff and doing work that pays the bills. Not all of us have the option of working in our field of passion. Having said that, I LOVE what I do, but it's taken years of hard work to reach a point where my passions pay the bills (but I still have to do things I don't enjoy). <br /><br />I'veI work with a lot of incredibly talented, creative Gen Ys who often feel they should start in established roles. What happened to starting at the bottom & building your way up to reach the 'fun' stage?@workingwomenaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00767785951938412969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-53218475884762455792013-09-06T07:44:34.194+10:002013-09-06T07:44:34.194+10:00Hey Carly, thanks for the mention!
Gosh our brain...Hey Carly, thanks for the mention!<br /><br />Gosh our brains on the same track - I've been having pretty similar thoughts. Are you familiar with psychologist, Csikszentmihalyi's concept of working in "flow" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology) ? That when you're fully interested in something, you are become fully absorbed and can lose yourself in it for hours on end? <br /><br />I'm going through the process of working out when I'm in flow. I'm pushing myself to try things that I've been scared of. Hence me getting back into styling photoshoots - even if it's just practice right now. And I'm getting way more involved in Problogger than I thought I would. Because ultimately I know that these are great things that will bring me into contact with great thinkers and do-ers who will inspire me to grow in the direction, that right now, I can only begin to allow myself to dream of. <br /><br />Also have you read Seth Godin's book, The Icarus Deception? About how society's conditioned us to be too afraid to fly high like in the myth? We also need to remember the other warning from the story - that if we fly too low, the salt water from the sea would ruin the gifted wings, causing the feathers to come away from the wings and leading to a death by drowning. You are a beautiful writer, Carly. Don't fly too low!

And...I'm all about the FUN and the INTERESTING! And creativity is your RIGHT. You don't need to justify it. Rather, you need to make sure you prioritise it! YES - make time for creativity but NO- don't forget that to be creative you have to have a degree of calm in your life (so keep a handle on the mundane but important too - like the bills! - It all has its place and teaches us stuff!!!)meetmeatmikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088257801400843909noreply@blogger.com
