Paul! So good! My purpose and passion is reading & writing things like this. Thank you so much. The quotes were a great addition.

I think sometimes the idea of purpose can feel weighty to those who are on the hunt for it. When that comes up I suggest people let the idea go and, instead, follow their curiosity. Being curious and interested will lead you. Feeling good will lead you. And especially, as you said, learning to develop a deep, inner knowing.

I found this post really useful. Thanks for that. I'm at that wonderful stage in life where I need to reinvent myself (yet again) career-wise. While my art is my passion, it doesn't pay the mortgage (or even the dog food bill for that matter.). It would be great if it did, but in today's hyper visually saturated world, I don't even think Salvador Dali could turn a profit. But that said, when it comes to earning a living, my pops always taught me to keep my feet in two worlds: One foot in a world that feeds the soul and the other in one that feeds the belly. Anyhow it's good to delve into these transformative books to help me ponder a new career path.
