“Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.” (Pablo Picasso)
I finished my work this evening with a
huge smile on my face. I thought it was because of something new that I had
created, plus the wonderful feedback from a student earlier today. Then I ran
into this phrase and I realized the source of my daily smile.
I am not going to write that I am lucky,
because it is not luck that has brought me here, to the absence of dichotomy in my
life. It is perseverance, resilience, persistence and the determination not to compromise when it comes to my happiness.
According to Henri Matisse “creativity
takes courage”. Leading our life is a creative process and if we want to
experience happiness and fulfillment in it, the only thing we need is the commitment
to be courageous.
