If You Had Five Other Lives To Lead, What Would You Do In Each Of Them?
The Artist’s Way exercise — healing of a sense of safety.
Before you continue reading, please know that this article is all about me. This violates the number #1 rule in writing: Focus on the reader. So you can stop reading here. But if you insist, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
The Artist’s Way is a book with one goal: To recover the wounded creative artists that we all are. Deep down, we all long to express ourselves in any creative forms — poetry, sketches, painting, music, sport, you name it.
One of the initial tasks in recovering this inner artist is imaginary lives. The task is simple: If you had five other lives to lead, what would you do in each of them?
Here’s mine.
Life 1: I would be a psychologist.
I would be an excellent observer of people. I would accomplish researches that verify the things we’ve already known: That gratitude brings us luck. That reading is as important as breathing. That success is a choice.
Throughout my career, I will publish one book that people will remember me off. The title is One Good Book Away. The goal of this book is to encourage people to make reading a hobby.
