The Life Changing! World Enhancing! Magic of How To Pick The Perfect Next Project Even If The World Is Going Crazy!
It's especially important right now.
OMG it’s a lot!
This catastrophe! That nightmare! The other disaster!
Everything is truly urgent!
Still, if you are a creator -
(I’m talking about you writers, artists, producers, musicians, storytellers, speakers, podcasters, screenwriters, memoirists, twitchers, directors, etc etc etc)
There is one thing of utmost urgency.
And only you
Can put it on the top of your list!
¡¡¡¡¡¡Your work¡¡¡¡¡
I hear you taking a breath.
I hear you wanting it to be true.
I hear you comparing your creative spark
That tiny infinitely powerful
Tip of a pin sized thing
To the gaping maw of the problems of the whirled.
Your perfect pitch yes
To the sirens and howling winds.
Even knowing that - as they say -
Comparisons are odious
And this one is nonsensical
We do it.
And yet
You need to put it on the top of your list!
Why?
Your creative work is the light.
It’s not necessarily the muscle.
We are still all called to be citizens.
But the dark calls for your light.
First to light you up.
Then everyone you touch.
And everyone it touches.
And everyone they touch.
Art is, as they say, the highest form of hope.
And hope?
It's not just about the future.
Hope is a way to live in the present.
A way to connect the past, present and future.
Hope is connective.
And connectivity is exactly the antidote
To the isolation, alienation and the gremlins of fear
Of manufactured overwhelm.
It's our job, or one of our jobs, to cultivate hope.
And you can call it whatever you want.
Beauty. Hilarity. Provocative.
Hope goes by many names.
And the way to do that as a creative human
Is to work on the projects that
We are most aligned with.
Only we can create.
Seem to be assigned to us.
Have our names written all over them.
The word create comes from a word meaning to grow.
We use it to mean making stuff.
But creators are growers.
Evolving, changing, revolutionizing, blooming, rooting.
Living.
The clear antidote to this wretched death culture we find ourselves in.
It looks completely different for every artist.
But what is not different?
The singularly important decision
Of what project/s to work on right now.
If you know what that is hallelujah!
If you could use some help wading through your choices.
Sifting through the overwhelm.
Breaking through the blocks.
Turning off your stream and soaking in the pool
Of your own creative juice..,
I’m doing a Pick Your Next Project ICYMI review with a Q&A next Wednesday.
I happen to have special skills helping creatives pick projects.
(That’s one reason I picked this project for me;)
And to execute those projects.
But right now, at the beginning of the year
It's such a perfect time -
Despite the noise and because of it -
To clear time and space for this decision making work.
Choosing your next project is the one decision that determines everything else.
Every Oscar winner, NYT bestseller, viral video, Tony winning performance
Every sold out show, cover article started with a decision.
Does luck help? Sure.
Can you help your luck find you? Absolutely.
And making the right choice for you right now is key.
I did the full Pick Your Next Project bootcamp last week
There were lots of breakthroughs.
I know lots of you missed it, because life.
So I'm doing this one hour ICYMI review.
It will be clarifying, inspiring and motivating!
No sitting through 45 minutes of BS
To get one maybe useful half nugget.
Egad I despise those zooms.
Plus I'm making it Free.
I love the word free.
More and more each day!
And PS my own decisions about work - continuing with UnCabaret, the pilot, the It’s A Lot tour, the book - have all been created with this process.
And I’ve helped soooo many other artists with their decisions.
And also PS
If you’d like to connect about my creativity coaching beyond this
I do clarity calls to see if we’re a good fit.
And they are clarifying!
Whether or not we end up working together right now.
Schedule here.
Infinitely Yours,
Beth
