Trying Something New

What Different Thing Could I Try that I’ve never done before?

How about monetary success? Would that be fun? I think so. It sounds a fun…

I’ve always gotten by. I’ve had a pretty charmed life actually. I’ve been lucky. I like work. I’ve volunteered, I’ve had paid positions since the age of fourteen. Even earlier if you count babysitting. But work and success haven’t equaled each other yet in my life. I’ve been working in the field of art for years. Things I’ve worked the hardest at, have not brought monetary success.

I’ve also tried freelancing and owning businesses. I’m pretty good at the research and development parts, but marketing and production not so much. I can produce, but I surely don’t enjoy repetition. Also, book keeping is not my favorite.

I love working. I enjoy being engrossed in projects and happily lose track of time while engaged in work. Lately, I’ve even enjoyed working at the laundry place. it’s the perfect way to get out and pass the hours. Folding can be very zen as my yoga friends pointed out, so true.

Before I die, it might be fun to actually be successful. Why not? At what, I don’t yet know, but I’m sure it will be something I both love and am good at.

For now, I’m helping my friend set up her new gallery and making some paintings to go in it. At the very least I alway get to do cool things. So far my eclectic privledged slice of life has been fun.

Widening my perspective, including more in, as in success, might be something new to try out.
