“We cannot be wholehearted unless we dare to be
brokenhearted first.”-BB
I’ve had the super fantastic privilege of interviewing dozens
of really amazing creative independents about the pursuit of their dreams. In most of the interviews the person I interviewed is
honest enough to share that they have known rejection, delay, and denial pretty
well, sometimes what seemed like too well. For a few moments they are
vulnerable enough to share that they didn’t get it right the first, second or
third time. That they had to work at finding joy in the small triumphs like
their first sale (I beamed, especially when it was to a person visiting the
states from England), perfecting their logo, an invitation to collaborate with
other creative types (kinda like me working with Kembrel for a trunk show this
Sunday), that 25th twitter follower (I was ecstatic when I got my
100th follower) , a repin on Pinterest, or that liked Facebook
status. Then they’d take their small triumphs and let them be what fuels them
forward to continue and more importantly fully pursue their dreams.
I have interviewed dozens of creative independents that have
dared to be brokenhearted in order to
wholeheartedly pursue their
passion and this week I encourage you to do the same. Dare to be
brokenhearted (whatever that looks like) in order to be wholehearted (you will
know exactly what this looks like).
Happy Tuesday!
