other's Good Finds
In doing my daily blog reading, I came across this post on Mike Goldsworthy's Blog that I feel is worth sharing....I loved it. It is the Manifesto of Accidental Creative...a good way to live, I think!
1. We create. Everyday. Not because we have to, but because we can’t help it. We empty ourselves because that’s what artists do.
2. We are brilliant at what we do, but what we do does not define us.
3. We understand that our vocation is bigger than our occupation. We’re on this earth to do more than earn a paycheck.
4. We are committed to growth. We do not tolerate stagnancy, because it’s the first sign of death.
5. We are committed to healthy creating. We recognize that to be prolific for a long time involves intentionality, choice and discipline.
6. We know the value of what we make, and we refuse to prostitute ourselves to organizations. We make career decisions based upon who we are not what everyone else would do in our situation.
7. We are always looking for ideas. We are focused, curious and passionate about life, because life is art.
8. We refuse to play the victim. We are proactive and responsible for our own creative health.
9. We are generous because we are free. We know that the goal is to act on the best idea, whether or not it’s our own. We build other people up, even when they don’t reciprocate.
10. We are committed to relationships. We recognize that healthy creating will come out of vibrant relationships.
What is Accidental Creative...Accidental Creative is a new breed of consultancy. We are connecting with thousands of creative pros through our online resources and services. We teach creatives how to thrive in an organizational setting and organizations how to better lead their creative teams and structure for long-term effectiveness. I am not personally in the market for a consultant, but maybe you are?
