(Keiran Setiya)Oliver Burkeman’s “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals” Book“Nothing is more alien to the present age than idleness.” “How can there be play in a time in which nothing has meaning unless it leads to something else.” – John Gray“Because children grow up, we think a child's purpose is to grow up. But a child's purpose is to be a child. Nature doesn't disdain what lives only for a day. It pours the whole of itself into each moment. We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in its flow, later is too late.” – Alexander HudsonSteven Pressfield’s “The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles” BookLulu Miller’s “Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life” BookJamie Drake’s “Easy Target” New Single__________CALL TO ADVENTUREWhat could you do that would be atelic and symbiotic – symbiatelic – for people in your real life; something that you have fun doing that also benefits people around you? __________SPONSORSSTORYBLOCKSVideo is one of my most effective ways to stand out as a creator online these days - and with Storyblocks you can take your videos to the next level - with Affordable Subscriptions, Unlimited Downloads, and 1M+ Royalty Free Assets - you can level up your content at storyblocks.com/CreativePepTalkSHILLINGTONStudy graphic design with Shillington for 3 months full-time or 9 months part-time.
