At the risk of falling into the trend of complaining about how busy I am I just gonna say it I'm so busy. Today is no exception working on a Sunday sucks especially when its a 16 hour day, the lethal combination of deadlines and rosters is the death of creativity.
But something a friend I really look up to said got me thinking and birthed a train of thought that is really giving me a fresh perspective on things. "All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on". At 21 I discovered my path in life and it was all I wanted to do everything else was just a means to an end a way to make my dream a reality.
To run my own design studio became my ambition in life. For years that was my motivation and through all the trials and curve balls I held onto it, lately thou it really started to feel like I was flogging a dead horse with accounts receivable reaching all time highs I was spending more time hassling clients for what was owed then I did working then to go to a dead end job in order to fund the one I loved but hated doing just didn't make sense.
So this week I decided to shut it down and focus my creativity on the Black Sheep Project and my painting. I still dream of owning and operating my own creative studio I really like branding it seems to come naturally for me but yeah we will see.
