One of the guys I work with started his position about 2 months after I did. I got to see him learn his position, get confident in his position and then grow in his position. He's been with the company for almost 2 years and I continuously see him improve company/client communication, he creates new ways of doing things, he tries new things out and he implements new systems. I've never seen him grow stagnant and I think that's why his value to the company is so high.
Then there's my cousin, she's a mother of three. During the early years of mommy hood, she was in need of an outlet. She craved to grow as an individual but felt selfish doing something for herself and not with her kids. She has now created an art outlet for parents with preschoolers. The art experience is in the same building, but in different rooms, allowing parents to grow as their child grows. http://www.metamorphosisaec.com/about/
Then there's my friend from Florida, she has turned her love of flowers into being a successful florist. Her Facebook and Instagram pictures always make me smile because I know that she loves creating new things. http://aflorae.com/
The twins that grew up in my hometown turned their love for refurbishing furniture into District Digs. http://www.thedistrictdigs.com/
I'm not saying to be George Washington Carver and dedicate your entire life to finding hundreds of uses for the peanut, I'm saying to step out of the consumer world for just a little and spend more time on the creative side.
Daily Challenge:
Get out there and create something! Maybe it's as simple as planting a garden, fixing your deck, trying out a new recipe, or taking a class. Step out there and create.
Song of the Day:
I know this isn't a new song, BUT I'm totally obsessed with the music video. http://youtu.be/FOjdXSrtUxA
