Provide for Your Creativity

Mindset
Written By Sarah Arnold-Hall

Over the last few days, I’ve been listening to conversations with Liz Gilbert (the author of Eat Pray Love) and Oprah exclusively, and I thought I’d share one of Liz’s brilliant ideas from her book Big Magic.

Liz said that when she was a young girl (16 or 17) she made a promise to her writing that she would never make it provide for her, she would always make money another way so that she could pursue her passion without any pressure. And she did until Eat Pray Love became a massive international bestseller (15 million copies, I think?), and she finally became a full-time writer. But she never expected it to happen. She was perfectly happy working a bunch of different side jobs. Is that not the most lovely thing?

The overall message is: provide for your goals and dreams, don’t make them provide for you.
