Creating Something to Contribute

Tuesday Take
5/25/2016

“Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It's a gift to the world and every being in it. Don't cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you've got.” 

- Steven Pressfield -
The War of Art

Having recently listened to the The War of Art on audiobook recently, I have become re-inspired to write about what my passions are on here. It's part of why I am fairly open about my blog and what I write about. I began this blog to create an outlet for my passions about developing yourself and others to be the best. If you can pursue the best version of you, then you can sail on course to the best version of your own life. Every path, destination, vessel, and crew is different in the ship of our soul.

You are encouraged to contribute something beyond your career projects. Consider this: you work to provide quality fruits of labor for someone else's benefit (your employer). Now your line of work may be your passion, but you should really look into doing something constructive and productive that is drive by your internal passions. By going out to create good on your own without external prompting your passions and work suddenly carries more weight and more reward. 

Share what you have to create. We would love to see it. Your friends and family are supportive. Strangers will be honest. You can change the world by a small creation by your own hands.
