“The secret to happiness is work worth doing.” -Gretchen Rubin
“The question you should be asking isn’t, “What do I want” but “What would excite me?” -Tim Ferriss
“All that any of us need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.” -Og Mandino, The Greatest Salesman In The World, Part II
Not “what do I want?” That leads to thoughts of scarcity (not helpful) or consumption (not fulfilling).
The question to ask yourself (and continuously ask)…
“What would get me really f’ing excited to do or work on?” (Regardless of outcome, money, recognition, etc.)
Remember the formula…
Meaningful Work + Meaningful Community = Peak Artistic Happiness.
What small action can you take today to find work worth doing and community worth sharing it with?
And if you’re stuck on the answer, then how ’bout just bringing more meaning to the work you’re already doing and the community you’re already a part of?
