Whenever us creative types get together, or–come to think of it–even when we’re alone, it’s usually all about “me”, “my”, or “we” or “I”. What is MY next gig, what am I doing to improve MY portfolio, MY solo exhibition, MY client list, MY ad campaign, MY blog, MY bank account, gear locker, self-promo mailer, vision… You get the point. Don’t deny it.
As a result, we can be overly paranoid, competitive, frustrated, cocky, going for broke, indulgent, critical, self-absorbed, self-loathing, self aggrandizing and overly analytical. We spend a lot of time living in our own heads.
But the truth is, we’re way better creatives when we’re better people. Better to ourselves, better to others, better to the world.
I just bumped into a close friend on the way back from my morning coffee. He shook my tree a little bit and told me a quick story in realizing this about himself. The story ended with his re-framing his self-focus into a simple plan to motivate a change. At the wrap up of each day he’s asking himself “what are 3 things I did to make somebody else’s life better today?”
I like that. Perhaps you should too.
I’m tired of your talk of “Randy Edsall took UConn to a BCS bowl.” UConn was also ranked inside the prime 25 ZERO moments within the 12ish weeks of that regular season. Edsall’s teams play great defense and horrible offense. That is effective when you are during the Big East and you recognize that Rutgers, Syracuse, UConn, and Pitt are all planning to do identical point.
Hey there, You’ve performed an excellent job. I will definitely digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I’m sure they will be benefited from this website.
Thanks for some other excellent post. The place else may anybody get that type of info in such an ideal way of writing? I have a presentation subsequent week, and I’m at the search for such info.
obviously like your web site but you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I’ll certainly come back again.
I was just looking for this info for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Normally the top websites are full of garbage.
