“A creatively lived life…
…is any life where consistently, routinely, habitually and constantly, you choose the path of curiosity over the path of fear. Not once, not twice, not a few times, but all the times.
All the times.
And I say curiosity more than passion, because I think we live in a passion fetishizing society where people are constantly being given this often very unhelpful piece of advice which is…
Follow your passion. Follow your passion. Follow your passion.
Passion is the big tower of flame on the hill. It’s lightning in a bottle. It’s the voice of God. It’s all very exciting if you should happen to run into it. But it’s not always there.
Every single day, you can be curious (…)
…you will have a creative life because your curiosity is different from everyone else’s and it will create a life unique to you.”
– Elizabeth Gilbert
