Next Read: Do The Work by Steven Pressfield
I just finished The War of Art and HIGHLY recommend it. If you want to create something (art, books, a business, music, anything) and haven’t then you need to pick it up.

TEDx Mile High Session II Highlights
A few highlights from session II: Bernard Amadei gave an assignment: each one has a gift, a mission statement. Write down your mission statement.
