sylvana lee-jonesPublished 6 years ago in MotivationWhat I Learned from 'Big Magic' by Elizabeth Gilbert
I recently finished Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, and whew. Talk about a life-changer. I picked it up a while back from my college's Barnes and Noble after getting a gift card for Christmas from my grandparents. I tucked it away on my bookshelf and completely forgot about it until I was packing up everything to leave Texas for the summer. I came across it, was like "Oh yeah, I own this," and threw it in my suitcase with the rest of my belongings. Three weeks later, I'm finished with it and still brooding over its wisdom. For me, this book brought a whole new meaning to what creative living means and today, I'm here to share my favorite bits from it, which, by the way, were exceedingly difficult to choose. There's a lot of stuff in here, but I'll save some of it for you to discover on your own. So if you'd like to hear a bit of Liz Gilbert's wisdom on pushing past fear to live creatively, just keep reading.

kaley holmesPublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe 8 Essential Books for A Life of Independence and Purpose
EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE is for the Purpose of Living a SUCCESSFUL LIFE. Successful life means a few things: Every day you love what you do, even though it's not always easy. Every day you make progress toward more of what you love to do. Every day this progress maintains you and those you care about. This maintenance fulfills your basic needs. Your basic needs are met and therefore you are equipped for life in a healthy way. Because you are well equipped, you're focused on having rich experiences rather than on survival. You are capable of showing others, by your example, that it's possible to live life that way.

George NekilanPublished 6 years ago in MotivationBest Self Help Books for Women to Read
Self help is one of the very few book genres that tends to be stigmatized or even disregarded, despite it being an overall positive topic. The truth is that much of the disdain self help books get as a genre is due to the sheer number of books that sound helpful and uplifting, but only really deliver a light "feel good" rush that doesn't really help you do much of anything concrete.
