1.1.1 - About the creative brain, on direction in life, and lessons from a 35-yo perspective
Issue #9, 5th October 2022
🎨 Visual
People are flawed. Every now and then, creative people realize their internal flaws and fall into an abyss of regret that lets them believe they lack potential.
But, creatives cannot be creating 24x7, can they? True, there has be some sort of consistency. However, our flaws, the delays, and the imperfections act as fuel for our desire to create.
This visual was a gentle reminder for me to accept this reality, and leverage my mental mess to keep creating.

Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung on direction:
“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.”

Another thread from my lost and forgotten bookmarks. I loved the final part,
“Make sure your life OKRs are measuring the right things.
Personal Example: “get married” is a dangerous life objective
“Find someone that you are excited to do life with” will lead to a more successful outcome.”
The comments have some additional tips too. You might not use them all, but at least try to adopt a couple of tips and align them with your lifestyle. If it doesn’t help, then try another one. Keep experimenting!
Have a good week, and remember to take it easy! 🤍
