It will help with true engagement and will be rewarded by the algoritme. Kind regards!
My favorite quote was "the path forward is about curiosity, generosity, and connection. These are the three foundations of art." It also helped to think about who my audience is and that it is not for everyone.
Yes curiousity about what could happne of I start. Many atones that we have outlined a blog and be surprised what our thoughts produce as we write. Thays curiosity. Again its about the ruckis we can create in the world and the feedbacks we could get. Or maybe the work will make the world a better place. But theen its generosity to give our time and attention and energy wrapped up in our work that will give the world. Even if we bill for it, its not the money that bring iut the art, its just that we are genrous. Connection as the third part is the most important part. It is thr main reasin we write,speak,shoot or paint but if comes at last. And when it comes , if brings magic,lo e and life. Thus art = curiousity+ generosity+ connections
This is exactly what I need to hear. I am going through hard times with a lot of thinking, less actions, hesitation....and all this freeze me and keep me procrastinating. Thank you very much.
Amazing that RUclips's algorithm found this video for me. As a perfectionist and an architect/designer/patent creator, found this video inspiring - Thank you ! Looking forward to reading the book ....
“Show up and do the work, regardless of how we are feeling and the what is happening in the world around us.” Needed to hear that along with “half of what you produce is going to be less than average”💕
Most times, we dont know that our art and work is te most important tjing in life. Politics,pandemic, family and unnecessary entertainment take pre edence over our work. It is cery important to see this creatuve work as the most important most enduring work. Later in the talk, Seth talks about short term disappointment is the best of generosity. It is never an act of insensitivity to disregard politics and all other instant mass media frenzy and do the work. Thank you for this insight.
I was supposed to hear this today. Had an epic fail for my art that I was submitting for a juried show. Supplies showed up a week late and damaged, could not transfer my vision to reality and the deadline was firm. I am going back in to see if I can re-work the art. That’s what a professional does. Thank you! 🙏👍💕
This is great 😂 Today I wrote a thoudand words blog and my laptop crashed as soon as I was about to save and publish. Very painful but then I remembered thay that redoing some things make thr art better. More over, i remeber Seth will say art is not for us or for our ego.
I remember those days of writing where i would lock myself into a room and STARE at my screen until i finished an article. It took six months to get a "flow". From 8 hours to 2 hours. Great advice. Love it, Marie.
The part where there's always a good excuse to not do the work, so commit to doing the work no matter what comes up. This is really key, especially in these difficult times.
I love what Seth is saying, "It's better together." I have 3 accountability coaches, and 2 of them are building like me, so it is fantastic to support others and RECEIVE support!
It was rally great to hear speaking both Marie and Seth in this episode of Marie TV! My favourite was...show up and do the work regardless of how you feel...Authenticity, we want the surgeon to do his best work and not be authentic...and....Permission that a regularly posted blog does not have to be always my best. Thank you!💕
I'm really loving the organic quality of these quarantine interviews. There's something so raw, rich and deconstructed that feels like music to the soul. I really like Seth's steadfast points on doing the work, practicing, being average and showing generosity just to make things better for others. Sweet interview Marie!
What a beautiful conversation this is! Seth is spot on about "authenticity" at work. But when you're in the social realm, authenticity is power. At work, it's laziness.
I love how Seth writing comes across to me as a swift kick of motivation is a warm open and welcoming away. Most people see motivation as a chance to yell and tuff love people into action. Then only intensifies fear. With Seth it is ok to jump off the cliff and take flight not knowing if we are going to crash or flight to New hights
I have binge watched and read anything of Seth's I can get a hold of. I love this. It resonates with me. I love his spirit. Thank you for another one of these talks. I'm going to get my behind back to my desk and write.
We are often afraid of the messy first draft- perfectionism! Or we are afraid of the messy middle when the finish line seems awfully far away. "When you're tired, learn to rest- not to stop."- unknown
Thank you so much for sharing this, Marie. I’m a florist who (by your wisdom and guidance) just went out on my own last month. FYI, I’m a single woman with two teenage daughters so its all on me financially. Anyway, my biggest take away from this was the portion discussing writers block. I struggle with designing block. When my flowers arrive I’m excited and happy and feel most inspired. Then when the day of execution arrives, I’m sick with panic, terrified and threaten myself with quitting and running away. Literally… this is my life, haha. It’s so comforting and reassuring to listen to amazing people (such as yourselves) express the same issue(s). Anyhow, thank you. My words I say to myself every time I experience this often debilitating feeling is to “just do the next thing.” :) And to be honest it does work for me.
Hi Julieanna! Congratulations on this new step in your florist journey! We're so excited for you. "Just do the next thing" is the perfect way to get out of that designing block and into creating. Here's to much success moving forward. - Monauar, Team Forleo
I love "morning pages" and doubt I'll throw them out. I feel like I forget the details of the journey I've travelled and I find it interesting to see changes, growths, cycles etc.. They're like a photo album reminding me of past memories/occurrences etc
The best advice I received and here has been confirmed: look out for network support, accountability buddy, a community which is doing what you want to do and hold tight to them. Share and show up. It works
I'm crying. This video was so touching, so inspiring, so engaiging. Marie, your smile and your energy are incredible, even through the Internet. Seth, your calm and your trust in deconstructing concepts that I had taking for granted (i.e. authenticity) is like an epiphany to me. Thank you so much. Grazie grazie grazie. Love from Italy.
Great interview. Seth's advice about connecting with a small group of people who are also doing creative work sticks with me. So important to find people to share feedback and keep one another accountable. Thank you for sharing this, Marie and Seth.
What an inspiring interview!! Thank you, Marie! Thank you, Seth! I love you both!❤" " You have everything you need to make magic. You always have." ❤ The best quote for me!
Thank you for the great interview ,Marie. Lovely hearing Seth and you talk. My takeaway - "If you wait for perfect you are hiding". - "This is worth doing , even if it doesn't work." And - " Human connection is exponential". Thank you Marie , you and your team are doing Awesome work.
I so relate to this in every area of my life. A counselor once used to preach to me that "perfect is just a moment in time". Perfection is a moment, not a process.
Maybe the best segment I have **ever** experienced. What would my 2021 have been if I found this earlier? No regrets, I'm ready for it now. THANK YOU both!!!!
I teared up at the end and realized we're all Harry Potter ⚡ thank you Seth and Marie! Super profound interview!!! 😍 😍 😍 "You have everything you need to make magic, you always have."😊
When you are creating something, you are creating for those, who will learn from you and wil creates something new......Every part touched my heart, but you know this part is so deep to think for me myself. And also the part of humanity is best. This was my first video to see on your channel. But I am sure as hell that, it won't be last......... Sometimes I think where the hell was I till now that, I didn't find your channel. And the things that you guys about creating, it's goldmine or creators believe, he gave me the reason not motivation for a period of time, but a reason and a purpose and by saying that you will succeed by practice it is unbelievable, I mean I think this is gonna make my life🙏 And again Thank You.
Thank you! I am a creative who is on a block - personally, but I perform creative tasks for others. Seth has reached into my creative mind and reinforced what I learned as a singer. #JustDoIt Thank you Seth and thank you Marie! Seth, I've always written original work for exactly what you said - contribution 💯❤️
Excellent information and interview! I loved the “Morning Pages” idea (like a “Morning Message” at school to get kids thinking.) I’m working on my book -“Headbangers-A Musical Recovery of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury” and much was written on my early journey of recovery but I have not been sitting daily to look back at what I wrote so this was a GREAT reminder to just DO 🖊📖each day..even if it’s not exactly what will be in print. It also reminded me of “WHO” I’m writing it for & to help those who need it. ❤️🎶🙏
I think this put a lot of what I'm afraid of into respective. Most of the thing you guys said in this video is not exactly new but to heard such big figure talking about the same experience as mine and how they overcome it really helps. My biggest takeaway is: Just start. Think about your audience and just start. Don't be afraid of the first draft or how it won't turn out perfectly, force yourself into doing it and finish it the best you can.
it was brilliant and I am getting the book tomorrow... also you are keeping me awake because you have so much out there that I have missed over the years.... and need to digest everything and learn and share with my audience... Thank you, Marie & Seth
Wow this was mindblowing to me. I loved this interview! These are the things I took away: "Do the work regardless how the world or YOU are feeling" "Do what you love is for amateurs, love what you do is for professionals" "We can define who we are by what we do" "Morning pages - it's about the practice" "who is it for and what is it for?" "you have to be able to sat that it's okay (that you can't serve everyone)" Thanks so much, I loved this
Hi Marie, I really loved this! I am in the middle of bschool, following a lead of doing an art business and SO appreciated the encouragement and wisdom form you and Seth. My heart and head are resonating with all of this good info and the many tools. THANK YOU for helping me put all the pieces together in this big journey!
Making it a practice takes the negotiation of “do I have a good reason not to do this today?” off the table. Not everything you put out is going to be amazing, but with consistency you will get better.
Loved this video sooo much!! Especially when you're in the first chapters with your business and you cannot see big results it is easy to fall into a state of 'I really don't feel like it' today...tomorrow...and the next day. Videos like this one keep me going and trekking forward, finding love in what I do, constantly remind myself that my work is meaningful and it helps people. I trust I will get there! Thank you Marie again for inspiring me not to give up!!!!!!!!!!! I adore your channel!!!
Yes! The destination matters. Part of what I have used is thinking the process is the most important. As long as I go to the work or start the art, i am successful already.
Seth has been an inspiration to me. His words ring true. He's like an artistic life coach. I agree that working with others helps people be more productive and inspired. (Even me as a die hard individualist!) Now if we only could get the politicians to work together with this same mentality that would be great!!!
SUCH a powerful interview. I love both of you and all you do and this was very helpful. Thanks for this! What I took away was: attachment to the outcome paralyzes us and shun the non believers. Both points are key for me to actually do the work without allowing perfection and being liked by everyone stop me from creating what I desire to.
Such a blessing!!! At 8:45, his answer to how confidence and trusting the process aren’t the same really resonated with me. It was the moment I decided to go ahead and buy that book!
Thank you so much for your opinion for me, and general conversation program, So thankful for your 🎁 presents with my everyday routine. So I always remember you with your 🎁 good intentions for my work and progress, that is most important for me because of family society, and without people no one can say about my work, and it is common for all, because of we lead to the society and society lead to us directly or indirectly we are consulted with one another. thank you so much for your help.
When you turn it into a habit you will have the discipline to get things done. Imagine that you are an employee, does someone care if you feel okay or not? Nope. You will have to show up on your work place otherwise you will be fired. Why are you willing to "sacrifice" yourself for someone else but not yourself?
This is a great way to see it. While you can create an imaginary master ,it is better to create an accou tabiliy partner instead. I will lie to know hownpractocal ways to really feel I am working for someone as an artist.
He’s the absolute best. Thanks so much Marie for bringing him to the show 🙏 my plan is to reach out to some of my dear friends to connect and learn from each other entrepreneurial dreams/actions 👌
My insight - keep creating to lift others. No need to feel 'entitled'. I'll find my tribe if I stay genuine, selfless and connected. (Of course, some boundaries are a must)
Geez. This was so cool. Thank you Marie and Seth for sharing your light and practical useful wisdom. Peace and Love to you. I just ordered the practice on Amazon.🌹
Holy moly!! I need snippets of this conversation on my phone, so I can start my mornings listening to it. This is absolute gold. Thank you so so much 💜
Actually someone can do that for you or build a software tondo that. You should do that if it foesnt exist. Or if I get something thay can help,i will let you know.
Marie and Seth, thank you! Whenever I listen to you and watch you, it's a great inspiration. I have just bought the book but I will be rewatching this video to remember these nuggets of widsom (to borrow a phrase from a very inspiring person) :)
Wow. I've never heard of Seth Godin. I started a blog a while ago and then stopped abruptly. I guess I don't trust myself fully to keep going, even when I want to. My biggest take away is to really think about who your work is for and what is it for. I was simply blogging about my insights, but I realize it was really to help other women who might feel alone in my same situation? Or, maybe I was just selfishly blogging to let my voice be heard without any real direction. I think it's the latter. But, I'm happy to think more about my journey as a potential writer.
This was really inspiring, I made a few notes here and there and I know I will make more once I rewatch this. Can't wait to buy the book. "Attachment to the outcome paralyses us," is something that strongly resonates me. I've been working on breaking this pattern for years now, and I'm getting closer each day :)
How profound and powerful! Loved this conversation - it provided such a rich depth to my perspective today. Thank you for the many gifts - can’t wait to share them with my clients! ❤️
thank you for this episode ❤️ the biggest aha - that with our actions we pave the road for other people to come after us. I keep hearing this message from different sources.
Just by watching this interview a few times and engaging helps me realize how impatient I am. Lol. 😆 I feel that way because I've done basically morning pages in diaries most of my life. From age 8 - age 28, I filled over 35 books by getting up 1/2 hour early every day to write and taking a diary to bed for 1/2 hour before sleeping. There were lots of other times and styles I wrote with over that schooling frame, but that practice was - I realized after taking Poetry workshops with folks like Eleni Sikelianos at Naropa Univ. (Or Cole Swensom at DU) - had been almost a spiritual check-in with my soul, a meditation, at least, a ritual. Some folks need their coffee or a morning bowl. Some folks need a sexy pen. Most of those are drivel but I have 2 baskets of "books I wrote" that prove to myself I am a writer before it ever "became official". I'd never show that to anyone but I've used passages or themes from it to help guide a lot of my work now. It represents over million very rough drafts of incomplete copy, and over 10,000 cumulative hours of dedication in the simplest way. Of course some days I had to rush so could only do 10 minutes and other days I hyper focused for 2 hours if the schedule allowed, but I could generally consistently get 1/2 hour of reliable work that way and it was a solid start. When I stopped doing it, my life actually veered or was veering off course. Those were also lessons I needed to learn. Now trying to get back to that track and make up for a decade of focusing on other priorities. Eager doesn't do the feeling justice. Thank you. Thank you! To all the folks who feel bookstores and libraries are their churches: check out the San Francisco MOMA if you ever get a chance. It's an elevating art experience that may enrich your ideas of work. May more success slap you all silly! Goosebumps for the feedback points made here.
Oh!,, I admire you, both, so much So enlightening. If you could see where in the world I am, at what point of my life we coincide, you would be glad to know someone heard you in the middle of nowhere, and you made a huge impact

"It's not a race for credit. It's a race for contribution." Seth Godin 💞Marvelous.
“It’s for someone.” Stunning.
"Writer's block actually is fear of bad writing." This is so real! Great interview. Thanks Marie and Seth.
My favorite quote was "the path forward is about curiosity, generosity, and connection. These are the three foundations of art." It also helped to think about who my audience is and that it is not for everyone.
Yes curiousity about what could happne of I start. Many atones that we have outlined a blog and be surprised what our thoughts produce as we write. Thays curiosity. Again its about the ruckis we can create in the world and the feedbacks we could get. Or maybe the work will make the world a better place.

Connection as the third part is the most important part. It is thr main reasin we write,speak,shoot or paint but if comes at last. And when it comes , if brings magic,lo e and life.
Thus art = curiousity+ generosity+ connections
One of my take-aways: "The only way to do it better is to begin"
I loved how he sighs at the end and says “you know how lonely this work is” - so human! And inspiring.
This is exactly what I need to hear. I am going through hard times with a lot of thinking, less actions, hesitation....and all this freeze me and keep me procrastinating.
Thank you very much.
Needed to hear this too! 🙏🏼❤️
Amazing that RUclips's algorithm found this video for me. As a perfectionist and an architect/designer/patent creator, found this video inspiring - Thank you ! Looking forward to reading the book ....
Marie and Seth together is a DREAAAAM. So good!
“Show up and do the work, regardless of how we are feeling and the what is happening in the world around us.” Needed to hear that along with “half of what you produce is going to be less than average”💕

What resonated with me most was "what is it for? Who is it for?" Reminding me to never loose site of the big picture. Thanks Marie and Seth for this x
Art is neve about us. Thays why I love it.
It always transcend us even wheb we gone.
Same here
Thank you Marie and Seth.
"You have everything you need to make magic." I love this. Such a kind hearted man.

What a beautiful conversation this is! Seth is spot on about "authenticity" at work. But when you're in the social realm, authenticity is power. At work, it's laziness.
I am grateful to you all. Thank you Marie&The Awesome Team!
Love and respect Seth, he is such a gem for the humankind.Highly admire this Man!! Thanks Marie for bringing him in for conversation.
I love how Seth writing comes across to me as a swift kick of motivation is a warm open and welcoming away. Most people see motivation as a chance to yell and tuff love people into action.
Then only intensifies fear.
With Seth it is ok to jump off the cliff and take flight not knowing if we are going to crash or flight to New hights

I love "morning pages" and doubt I'll throw them out. I feel like I forget the details of the journey I've travelled and I find it interesting to see changes, growths, cycles etc.. They're like a photo album reminding me of past memories/occurrences etc
“Do it together” instantly choked me up and brought tears to my eyes. These two are amazing, every damn time. Thank you for the work you share!
The best advice I received and here has been confirmed: look out for network support, accountability buddy, a community which is doing what you want to do and hold tight to them. Share and show up. It works
“Focusing the work on someone else.”
I have always felt this about my writing, but have never heard it spoken out loud. Thank you both! 🙏🏻
I'm crying. This video was so touching, so inspiring, so engaiging. Marie, your smile and your energy are incredible, even through the Internet.

Thank you for sharing this, Marie and Seth.
I always need the reminder that not everyone has to like your work, just the people that are enrolled. This was great thank you!
So lovely to see you both, glad you are healthy and thriving in these crazy times. BOUGHT THE KINDLE EDITION during the INTRO- so excited!!!!
Seth is a legend. absolutely love the final note to wrap up this episode. make a ruckus y'all.
What an inspiring interview!! Thank you, Marie! Thank you, Seth! I love you both!❤" " You have everything you need to make magic. You always have." ❤ The best quote for me!

Wow this was mindblowing to me. I loved this interview!
These are the things I took away:
"Do the work regardless how the world or YOU are feeling"
"Do what you love is for amateurs, love what you do is for professionals"
"We can define who we are by what we do"
"Morning pages - it's about the practice"
"who is it for and what is it for?"
"you have to be able to sat that it's okay (that you can't serve everyone)"
Thanks so much, I loved this
I’m so excited! I have an audible credit with Seth’s name on it ☺️
Omg me too!
Ditto!!
That’s me 🤗
Hi Marie,
I really loved this! I am in the middle of bschool, following a lead of doing an art business and SO appreciated the encouragement and wisdom form you and Seth. My heart and head are resonating with all of this good info and the many tools. THANK YOU for helping me put all the pieces together in this big journey!
Making it a practice takes the negotiation of “do I have a good reason not to do this today?” off the table. Not everything you put out is going to be amazing, but with consistency you will get better.
Loved this video sooo much!! Especially when you're in the first chapters with your business and you cannot see big results it is easy to fall into a state of 'I really don't feel like it' today...tomorrow...and the next day. Videos like this one keep me going and trekking forward, finding love in what I do, constantly remind myself that my work is meaningful and it helps people. I trust I will get there! Thank you Marie again for inspiring me not to give up!!!!!!!!!!! I adore your channel!!!
Yes! The destination matters.
Part of what I have used is thinking the process is the most important. As long as I go to the work or start the art, i am successful already.
Once you make the decision it becomes who you are. If you are a writer, write... Inspiring 🙏
Seth has been an inspiration to me. His words ring true. He's like an artistic life coach. I agree that working with others helps people be more productive and inspired. (Even me as a die hard individualist!) Now if we only could get the politicians to work together with this same mentality that would be great!!!
Shut up and take my money!!!! Thank you so much Marie and Seth! Both of you are golden!
One of all time favorite interviews! Thank you peeps!
“Writers block is fear of bad writing.” - Seth Godin
How did I not know about this guy??? Thank you for introducing me to this brilliant man!
can't get enough of this man's mind
My new mantra; Be curios, generous and connected.
Great interview, thank you both!
SUCH a powerful interview. I love both of you and all you do and this was very helpful. Thanks for this! What I took away was: attachment to the outcome paralyzes us and shun the non believers. Both points are key for me to actually do the work without allowing perfection and being liked by everyone stop me from creating what I desire to.
Such a blessing!!! At 8:45, his answer to how confidence and trusting the process aren’t the same really resonated with me. It was the moment I decided to go ahead and buy that book!
This interview brought me to tears!! Thank you for your amazing work, Marie and Seth!!! I cannot wait to read "The Practice"!!!
Looooooved this interview! Thank you Marie Forleo for creating this space and thank Seth Godin for sharing all your knowledge!!
Wow I love the ending quote.. I listened to it like 5x. So powerful! 💖
That should be framed and kept in my study room.
Really great interview! Absolutely love Seth Godin’s books. I am really looking forward to reading The Practice.
Marie and Seth, two of my fav humans on the planet. Seth, I placed my order for The Practice today. :-)
I Love Seth Godin and your interview with him is so what i need to hear. Thank you both for what you do!
Thank you so much for your opinion for me, and general conversation program, So thankful for your 🎁 presents with my everyday routine. So I always remember you with your 🎁 good intentions for my work and progress, that is most important for me because of family society, and without people no one can say about my work, and it is common for all, because of we lead to the society and society lead to us directly or indirectly we are consulted with one another.
thank you so much for your help.
When you turn it into a habit you will have the discipline to get things done. Imagine that you are an employee, does someone care if you feel okay or not? Nope. You will have to show up on your work place otherwise you will be fired. Why are you willing to "sacrifice" yourself for someone else but not yourself?
This is a great way to see it. While you can create an imaginary master ,it is better to create an accou tabiliy partner instead.
I will lie to know hownpractocal ways to really feel I am working for someone as an artist.
I have not watched a Marie video in a while, yet I recognize the radio from the book, on her desk. That means I really remembered the book ❤️😭
Listening Seth read that l3ast made me cry. A good cry. Thank you Marie. Planning to get the book.
Such an amazing and inspiring interview! Thank you Marie, thank you Seth!!! Just what's needed right now.
That's a wonderful inspirational message to move forward. I am grateful, I found this channel. Thank you!
He’s the absolute best. Thanks so much Marie for bringing him to the show 🙏 my plan is to reach out to some of my dear friends to connect and learn from each other entrepreneurial dreams/actions 👌
The chemistry between you two is just beautiful!
My insight - keep creating to lift others. No need to feel 'entitled'. I'll find my tribe if I stay genuine, selfless and connected. (Of course, some boundaries are a must)
Omg! I was crying by the time he finished reading that. I can’t wait to get started tomorrow. Or, right now really. 💖❤️💖 Thank you so much. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Very insightful❤ thank you both
This interview alone was transformative, I'm so looking forward to reading Seth's new book. Thank you for sharing🤍
Geez. This was so cool. Thank you Marie and Seth for sharing your light and practical useful wisdom. Peace and Love to you. I just ordered the practice on Amazon.🌹
Holy moly!! I need snippets of this conversation on my phone, so I can start my mornings listening to it. This is absolute gold.
Thank you so so much 💜
Actually someone can do that for you or build a software tondo that. You should do that if it foesnt exist.
Or if I get something thay can help,i will let you know.
@@Beshladilawal thank you so much 😊 I've done it in the past with some interviews
Marie and Seth, thank you! Whenever I listen to you and watch you, it's a great inspiration. I have just bought the book but I will be rewatching this video to remember these nuggets of widsom (to borrow a phrase from a very inspiring person) :)
Wow. I've never heard of Seth Godin. I started a blog a while ago and then stopped abruptly. I guess I don't trust myself fully to keep going, even when I want to. My biggest take away is to really think about who your work is for and what is it for. I was simply blogging about my insights, but I realize it was really to help other women who might feel alone in my same situation? Or, maybe I was just selfishly blogging to let my voice be heard without any real direction. I think it's the latter. But, I'm happy to think more about my journey as a potential writer.
This was really inspiring, I made a few notes here and there and I know I will make more once I rewatch this. Can't wait to buy the book.
"Attachment to the outcome paralyses us," is something that strongly resonates me. I've been working on breaking this pattern for years now, and I'm getting closer each day :)
How profound and powerful! Loved this conversation - it provided such a rich depth to my perspective today. Thank you for the many gifts - can’t wait to share them with my clients! ❤️
Seth Godin insights on creative process and being authentic fascinating 👍👍👍👍
Seths reading so resonates ❤️
This is COMPLETELY amazing. Thank you, Seth, sooooooo much fo sharing. Wow.
Marie, I love your content, keep up the good work.
Page 255 to 256 truly resonated with
thank you for this episode ❤️ the biggest aha - that with our actions we pave the road for other people to come after us. I keep hearing this message from different sources.
Just by watching this interview a few times and engaging helps me realize how impatient I am. Lol. 😆 I feel that way because I've done basically morning pages in diaries most of my life. From age 8 - age 28, I filled over 35 books by getting up 1/2 hour early every day to write and taking a diary to bed for 1/2 hour before sleeping. There were lots of other times and styles I wrote with over that schooling frame, but that practice was - I realized after taking Poetry workshops with folks like Eleni Sikelianos at Naropa Univ. (Or Cole Swensom at DU) - had been almost a spiritual check-in with my soul, a meditation, at least, a ritual. Some folks need their coffee or a morning bowl. Some folks need a sexy pen.
Most of those are drivel but I have 2 baskets of "books I wrote" that prove to myself I am a writer before it ever "became official". I'd never show that to anyone but I've used passages or themes from it to help guide a lot of my work now. It represents over million very rough drafts of incomplete copy, and over 10,000 cumulative hours of dedication in the simplest way. Of course some days I had to rush so could only do 10 minutes and other days I hyper focused for 2 hours if the schedule allowed, but I could generally consistently get 1/2 hour of reliable work that way and it was a solid start.
When I stopped doing it, my life actually veered or was veering off course. Those were also lessons I needed to learn.
Now trying to get back to that track and make up for a decade of focusing on other priorities. Eager doesn't do the feeling justice.
Thank you. Thank you!
To all the folks who feel bookstores and libraries are their churches: check out the San Francisco MOMA if you ever get a chance. It's an elevating art experience that may enrich your ideas of work.
May more success slap you all silly! Goosebumps for the feedback points made here.
Oh!,, I admire you, both, so much
So enlightening. If you could see where in the world I am, at what point of my life we coincide, you would be glad to know someone heard you in the middle of nowhere, and you made a huge impact
time to get back to morning pages, thanks for the reminder!
A wonderful interview. You are both nurturing each other and us through the conversation. Better together.
Love listening to Seth anyday!!✨
not even ten mins into this video and I can here the angels of truth singing
