It's one that I hold firm in my heart – who I am at my core. I love to be in the company of greatness: brilliant minds, passionate lovers, creative souls. I work with some of the most brilliant minds I've ever met. They inspire me to be the best at what I do. But what I do is creative and less logical – some would argue that it is both, and I'm often inclined to agree ... but for argument's sake ... I've run into one wall every time I attempt to surround myself with Creatives though. They always seem to be a little too arrogant for my taste. This usually leads to them looking down on those who seek their wisdom. It's frustrating to say the least. This isn't to say that the creatively endowed are arrogant. Most of them are genuinely kind people. The problem is that they do not want someone hanging around asking questions and trying to learn from them. Do you know of any ways to do such a thing? Books can only do so much. A mentor is worth more than any book can every be. I love this mindset. It’s one that I hold firm in my heart – who I am at my core.

I'm so grateful for the friends and community I have that encourages me toward where I want to go with my career. Well written - and a great reminder to me.

Sometimes you need to stick it out, for a variety of reasons. And sometimes you need to go before it drains you. No roadmap. That would be too easy.
