✨NEW BLOG POST✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Creativity x Meaningful Work⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For many of us, our creativity stems from a deep desire to do things with meaning🤍. We want meaningful lives, we want to share meaningful art, we want to create something that will spark meaning in other people's lives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To do this, we know (deep down) that we need to utilize our gifts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yet, thoughts often come up such as: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💥 It is selfish to focus my energy on something that I enjoy⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💥 My talents do not pay the bills- I need to think more practically ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This blog was inspired by a reminder I was given from Brené Brown's ( )research. It showed that "squandering our gifts brings distress to our lives. As it turns out, it's not merely benign or 'too bad' if we don't use the gifts that we've been given; we pay for it with our emotional and physical well-being. When we don't use our talents to cultivate meaningful work, we struggle. We feel disconnected and weighed down by feelings of emptiness, frustration, resentment, shame, disappointment, fear and even grief."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Crazy, right?!?! 😳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
