“Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything . . . whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”
I am sure that almost all of us, except a very lucky few who love the job they are doing, must have experienced dead end, or a blank phase in our life/career...
Recently I encountered a blank phase, some thing like a writer's block or more like a black hole, it was sapping in my happiness. I felt as if I was a loser, pursuing a career which I did not like or appreciate !!!
This economic recession made me wonder if I had made a right choice of taking IT as my career... HA! Inspiration and revalation come from the same factor(money,$$$$$) which made me loose my dream choice of a job!! God has a crocked sense of humor and irony.
Creativity, Innovation, Imagination... were the key ingredients in my dream job. I religiously followed my search for my dream job, when I had completed my college years.
I landed up in jobs with high monetary benefits but no creative ascepts in them at all...Like many of my counterparts, I decided to take the "more-paying" job out of the anxiety of making some easy money, and settling down to do the job I liked.
Man Proposes... God Disposes...
I got entangled in this monotonous job, which sapped me of my energy, my originality and my imagination...
The prospect of losing the comfortable pay, stopped me from taking a few oppurtunities I got to pursue a career of my choice..Was earning a little more worth it?? I doubt it!!!
Have made a resolution to utilize the first chance I get to take up a job I like!!!
This time am planning to stick to my resolution...
"If I don't get smarter about the choice I make, I'm going to end up with this colourless, tame, unexicting job for the rest of my life"
Started looking out for the book - "Creativity for Dummies!"
