Allow for magic in your life

Sometimes a book makes your heart sing. The last time that happened was with “Sensemaking”. “Big Magic: How to Live a Creative Life, and Let Go of Your Fear” reminds me of “Deep work” and “Perennial Seller”. It is a delight.

Big magic

Big magic is about purpose, doing your best work, self-expression. Being brave and courageous. Pursuing your art. Expressing your treasures inside. The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all and then stands back to see if we can find them. A creative life is an amplified life. It’s a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner — continually and stubbornly bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you — is a fine art, in and of itself. Because creative living is where big magic will always abide.

Do you want an amplified existence?

A life that is driven more strongly by curiosity than by fear. A life that isn’t always comfortable or easy. But it’s always worth it, because if you can’t learn to travel comfortably alongside your fear, then you’ll never be able to go anywhere interesting or do anything interesting. And that would be a pity, because your life is short and rare and amazing and miraculous, and you want to do really interesting things and make really interesting things while you’re still here.
