Today Marie Forleo put out a GREAT video on what it means to do meaningful work
There was a moment when I questioned if creative work like art made enough of a difference and contribution in the world?
When I worked in healthcare consulting, it was easy to see us we were helping people. It felt like a no-brainer.
It’s a little more intangible as an artist. Actually art sometimes feels selfish! Like play time! I had to wonder – do I, as an artist, need to be making a social statement with every series?
The answer for me is like Marie says….maybe you are making a difference even if it isn’t by the masses. If even one viewer who gets the feels, is inspired, shifts their mood, transports to a memory…I know the work is worth it…
I love Marie Forleo – she is a total goof, but she pulls off being sexy and sassy and then busting business balls…
