I recently watched a video on YouTube which led me down the path of starting to document something that has been on my mind for some time, which is the recovery of the right brain. This has been a major factor in my life for the last decade and more, and it has profoundly affected how I view and experience my life. The experience of meditating, writing novels, and playing the piano has helped me rediscover the joy and creativity of my early childhood and has allowed it expression in my adult life.
I have come to believe that the passion that I often hear of is on the one hand an elitist illusion, for most people can't pursue their dreams and make a living in this way; but on the other hand it is chasing the wrong dream, for passion can be found in unexpected places if we simply allow ourselves to behave naturally and out of the right brain. This is something that can be easily cultivated and rediscovered without complicated exercises and training programs. Watch the short video, Passion, Creativity and Livelihood, and follow me as I develop this thinking in future posts.
