I also want to add that I really enjoy your blog, it's very fun. I am now off to read about your layoff song! That's the post I was looking for when I stopped to read this one :)EmbellishYourselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11891845258329916104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880057689894637723.post-72050432118202503082009-08-27T12:34:02.121-07:002009-08-27T12:34:02.121-07:00I don't know why it put me as anonymous.

And yet she's a very optimistic person. I think to some extent she's right. I started my business around 4 years ago and thought - aha! Finally now I get to do what i want to do. But then slowly, the administration, the accounts, the dealing with things that don't go according to plan start to happen, all of which for a creative person can be somewhat annoying/hampering/boring! Then of course there are all the successes and good things which are great too but it's a bit of both, you never get all of one and none of the other.<br /><br />And the pefect paycheck - well that would surely be the winning lottery ticket :)<br /><br />I think there are jobs we are better suited to so it's worthwhile finding something which you enjoy doing and gives you a sense of worth. But I think other facets of your life have to fill in the other areas as work can never be the be all and end all. <br /><br />I really hope you find the right connections soon to something that will keep you interested and paid well enough to feel fulfilled/satisfied. The perfect job! - it's not easy!!!Anonymoushttp://sarahsundance.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880057689894637723.post-24174016582075779212009-08-25T12:05:24.122-07:002009-08-25T12:05:24.122-07:00This is definitely pause for thought isn't it?...This is definitely pause for thought isn't it? I see a lot of unhappy unfulfilled people moving around zombie like...wishing they had other people's life or job. Sometimes I do that as well. I think it's part of being human. But, the idea that you can have a fulfilling life to YOUR standards and values? That is a beautiful thing...I'm so happy that you're figuring this out and willing to share...Chickenbellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13573889595933525371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880057689894637723.post-26643347460199166222009-08-24T15:00:43.527-07:002009-08-24T15:00:43.527-07:00Very interesting post.

I've always said I'd rather live in a box and be able to do what I love (and make just enough money to eat) than to be rich and well off in every way but spending the majority of my waking hours working away at something I hated. Why waste your life being unhappy? for money?When will you have the time to spend it if you're always working?<br /><br />But then, we have my(and many other artists) current conundrum...what do you do when doing only what you love means 'the ends' just won't meet? <br /><br />as I said...very thought provoking post.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141719503599667477noreply@blogger.com
