Alex, it’s funny which aspects of the creative process people neglect. Some people think it’s all about coming up with crazy ideas, but crazy ideas can’t become a reality unless we use skills to manifest them into a painting, or an actual new career. The biggest thing is to know oneself. That way we can either develop the skills we lack (brainstorming for some, organizing for others) or get help from those that have those talents naturally.

Steven, I hope you come to remember what you love to do. I really believe the world will be better if you followed your natural path, sharing your natural gifts with others.

A really well written and helpful post. Some good tips to encourage us to ‘think outside the box.’ There really are no limits to what we can do if we get creative in our thinking.

I think that we often get stuck in the idea of picking “standard” careers based on what others think will be best. But life can be so much more fun when you’re doing something that’s a great match to your personality–even if it’s a little quirky. Wonderful article!

Hey Javy,

this is the perfect post for me because I am struggling to find what it is I am passionate about. And so far, it feels comforting to see someone else also agreeing to do some crazy choices and explore, because that is what I am currently trying to do.

I especially how you make the point for keeping up your motivation the last point. It is extremely important to have the motivation for anything, especially career-wise. You’ve provided some good tips on keeping up the motivation (I sure hated my last job! >:()

Thanks Javy, enjoyed the article.
