1 小时 1 分钟The fork in the road is always going to be the thing that makes you curious and the thing that makes you scared.
And a creative life is a life where you routinely choose the path of curiosity over the path of fear.
Not like twice or three times or four times, but daily.
Yeah, like, systematically.
Systematically, it becomes your habit and your practice to say, I don't even know why I'm interested in this, but I'm interested in this, and I'm gonna look into it.
So what if giving voice to your creative spirit, that impulse inside you, unlocked not just your potential, but also brought beauty and meaning and connection to your world and the world?
And what if overcoming the fear within you of sharing what's inside and just yearning to get out allowed your neekus to finally shine through?
And what if saying yes to your curiosity opened up possibilities beyond anything you imagined?
Well, these are some of the invitations and provocations explored by my guest today, Elizabeth Gilbert.
So Liz found global acclaim with her memoir, eat, pray, Love, which resonated with millions seeking their own journey of self discovery.
And since then, she has eliminated the path to fearless creativity and fulfillment, shared her journey through profound elevation, laws, grief and revelation in books, talks, and conversations.
And I had a chance to sit down with Liz, and as often happens with these good life conversations, we ended up going all sorts of places I never planned.
We touched on the power of curiosity and the fallacy of passion, where creativity comes from, what stops us from doing the thing we're here to do.
The importance of caring for your vessel.
What happens when you think you've reached the end of your capacity and her powerful lens on what it means to live a good life.
This is a deeply moving, revealing, insightful, and sometimes pretty funny conversation.
In fact, we begin with a pretty funny reveal of a relationship that Liz had kept secret for more than four decades.
So listen in as we explore the exhilaration that comes when you dare to unleash your creative potential.
If you have ever wondered how to step into a creative life, how to get that thing in your head and heart out into the world, this is a don't miss best of conversation.
It may give you the courage to bring your gifts fully into the world.
