Week 7: Play... Create... Explore

Almost all creativity involves purposeful play

~Abraham Maslow~

When I create with polymer clay, I usually call it playing with clay. For me it brings back my childhood days with playing dough. Same with painting, playing with brushes gives much fun to me. And as I explore with these mediums, discovering something new is like an "aha!" moment... a reward and like a lifetime achievement.

And I think I have  to level up! I want to venture in freelancing to use  the creative juices that is overflowing in me. I think it's time for me tell the world that I have the skills, the talents... enough for hibernating... enough for my timidity. 

That's why I bought the "Creative, Inc.: The Ultimate Guide to Running a Successful Freelance Business" by Meg Mateo Ilasco and Joy Deangdeelert Cho. The success stories of freelancers featured in this book are really inspiring. It is really great to do the things that you love because it is more about playing than working and gives you a satisfaction which I believe is a key to happiness.
