Sucker for Good Advice

I was reading a great article by the writer Elizabeth Gilbert and I thought this was a nice piece of advice:

"If you've lost your life's true passion (or if you're struggling desperately to find passion in the first place), don't sweat it. Back off for a while. But don't go idle, either. Just try something different, something you don't care about so much. Why not try following mere curiosity, with its humble, roundabout magic? At the very least, it will keep you pleasantly distracted while life sorts itself out. At the very most, your curiosity may surprise you. Before you even realize what's happening, it may have led you safely all the way home."

Max Ernst

Is amazing

Max Ernst (1891-1976) "Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation."All good ideas arrive by chance."
