... my favorite book of hers, 'cause she described how creativity works and how...

And she's just, her understanding of all that really shaped how I feel about it too.
8:13
And she says that we often think that we need to find our purpose, and purpose just seems like this big lofty idea, which is like, oh my God, I have to get this one right, otherwise that's it for me.

But she's like, "You've just gotta follow little, little calls of curiosity, like a little treasure hunt." So instead of saying, "Oh my gosh, I need to be an artist," I'm like, "What happens if I just paint this one little painting?" Or if you, if art isn't your jam, if you're like, "Well, I've randomly got this feeling that I wanna try some new recipes," you know? And just follow those little joys, and you don't need to know where it goes, and it could turn into something, or maybe it doesn't.
8:47
Maybe it teaches you something that'll turn into something else.
8:50
But I think that's how, you know, in a bit more of a woo-woo sense, I think that's how the universe speaks to us.
