What I learned about quitting from Seth Godin’s ‘The Dip’
1. Being the best is underrated “Scarcity makes being at the top worth something”- Seth Godin A key idea right at the beginning of the book is this view that Being the best in the world is underrated. There are extraordinary benefits to those who push longer than most and quit early on things that don’t work so they can refocus.

The Wheel of Time Turns
The fantasy genre has exploded in the wake of the release of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in cinemas, compounded by Game of Thrones, even if most are less than enthused about the way that particular show ended. There are an awful lot of fantasy worlds out there, all lovingly crafted by their creators. The world of the Sword of Truth series, Midkemia of the Riftwar Saga, Shannara, Middle Earth, Earthsea, Roshar and the rest of the Cosmere. The worlds of Athas, Krynn, Eberron, Toril and the like from various roleplaying systems such as Dungeons & Dragons. So many worlds, all with their own rules and creatures and magic systems and characters and factions. But we aren’t going to discuss any of these, instead we will focus on the world of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. Given the fact that the first season of the Wheel of Time series is due to be released in November of this year, and the fact that it is my personal favourite story, I feel that the timing is right for this.

A Wand is Better Than a Wish
What makes a great franchise? A great book series. And what makes a great book turn into a great series? The world that the author creates and the depth of how much the reader is invested into the story. Fantasy is sometimes laughed at as a genre and in life, ridiculed for not being real enough so why bother becoming invested in something that cannot be true? But that's the point, fantasy is an escape. It let's us dive into a completely made-up world with none of the same rules, ramifications, consequences or limitations of our reality, in order to escape our reality, even for an hour of reading or 120 minutes of screen-time.

On The Artist's Way
The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron, is a book on the spirituality of creativity. If you’ve never read it, or even heard of it, I highly recommend picking it up on Amazon, or at your local book store. In the pages of the book, Julia teaches one how to unblock, and let creativity, which is our natural state, flow.

The Elephant Man: A Humanistic Film
The film “The Elephant Man” is an iconic and powerful humanistic filmmaking endeavor. Director David Lynch forces the horrors and sadness of deformity onto the audience in a way that leaves the viewer tear choked with sadness and sympathy. Most people who watch the film are touched in a way that alters their view of the crippled, weak, and deformed persons of the world.
