| 0:00.0 | I want to start today's micro show with a quote. The quote goes like this. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use. One makes for a joyful journey. As long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other |
| 0:24.0 | will make you curse your life. One makes you strong. The other weakens you. That's a quote by |
| 0:31.4 | Carlos Custinida. And it makes me think of the lives that we lead. There are paths that we choose to be inactively. |
| 0:42.2 | Sure, there's all kinds of things that happen to us. And yet, when we are on our path, |
| 0:48.6 | life tends to happen for us. The creative lives and the creative careers that most of us seek, it's important to remember |
| 0:56.7 | that they are all designed, right? They happen intentionally. The so-called lucky ones, the people |

| 1:37.4 | No matter where you are today, you can design a fulfilling creative life for yourself. |
| 1:43.2 | It's not important whether you are already a professional artist or simply creative curious. |
| 1:48.4 | Start again today. |
| 1:51.0 | Start from scratch. |
| 1:51.9 | Start from wherever you are. |
| 1:53.5 | Ask yourself how you would truly like to express your creativity. |
| 1:57.2 | Not just in one bucket list item, like finish novel or you know finish my album but what about |
| 2:04.1 | every day for the rest of your life maybe you're a working photographer and maybe it's time to segue |
| 2:10.6 | out of shooting weddings and starting to do maybe finer photography or some other type of |
| 2:16.4 | photography that really fulfills you, |
