I was reading a new book I picked up called “Diary” by Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club). There was a section talking about how artists who go to school for so long, and yearn to create yet have the skills but have no passion or no story to tell because they are hired professionals who do what they are told to do.
That brought up a good point, how many people are doing what they love? I mean truly what you love, what you live for, what you yearn for?
In that chapter, one of the main characters made an interesting statement, “Many people have to suffer before they can risk doing what they love.”
It made me think about how much do we risk to do what we love? And if we are risking, is it enough? Would risking more yield more satisfaction? More love for what we do? What if we’re not risking enough, is that why we don’t love what we do? If we’re not risking enough or need to risk more, how?
What’s your thoughts?
