WOWY! What an amazing post Eric, where does all this wisdom and insight come from?
Reading this is like looking in a mirror, that's my exact experience in so many ways.
And I do believe number 2 below became true for you, you just didn't know back then just what amazing times lay ahead.
As a creative we're either: 1. working a job that doesn't afford us the chance to use our creativity and satisfying our creative urge on our own time; or 2. pursuing our creative passions as a full time career.
Bravo Eric and thank you for being you and being here!
Thank you, Lizelle! I did a lot of this kind of writing in the 2012-2016 timeframe. Much of what I posted early on in Steemit were recycled blog posts from that era. I was active in James Altucher's Choose Yourself community on social media and would post these articles there. His book, Choose Yourself, really is a large part of what led me to Steemit and landed me where I am today.
I really appreciate it and thank you for being here as well!
