A few months ago I read Elizabeth Gilbert’s book Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear. Gilbert is the author of the best-selling novel, Eat Pray Love, which has enjoyed amazing success, was made into a movie, and catapulted her career to superstar status.

I really enjoyed reading Big Magic because of its inspiration to aspiring writers, novelists, poets, creators, to grab hold of the inspiration and creativity you were born with and go live a creative life.

Inspiration for this “hump day” when things get tough and you are only halfway to the weekend, comes from that book, which I wholeheartedly recommend:

Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart. The rest of it will take care of itself. ~Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

I love this quote! Follow your curiosity, the voice inside that tells you to go for it, to put yourself out there (again and again), and to grab a hold of the inspiration to create something authentic, something only you could come up with, and share it with the rest of us! We need you to!

You can get Big Magic on Amazon and pretty much anywhere else they sell books. pick it up, read it, I am certain you will be glad you did.
