I love the quote below. I've found it to be oh so true, when I am doing work I love, my troubles just don't seem as daunting as when I'm in some horrible work situation.

***

“No person who is enthusiastic about her work has anything to fear from life.”

- Samuel Goldwyn

“If you want to be happy for an evening, buy a bottle of wine; for a week, slaughter a pig; if you want to be happy throughout your life, enjoy your work.”

“It is only well with me when I have a chisel in my hand.”

- Michelangelo

I can identify with this quote. It’s like with my writing, while I’m doing it, I sometimes become immersed in it. Nothing else matters, all of my worries just melt away and I’m completely present and in the moment. The psychological term for it is “flow.”

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”—Romans 8:28

This is my favorite Biblical verse. Yesterday I posted an article about regrets. In the article I write about how I set out to pursue a goal and thus changed my life. I was happy at first, then lamented not doing it sooner.

I conclude that I am doing it now and right now is the perfect time as “…all things work together for good…”

"The second reason creativity is so fascinating is that when we are involved in it, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life. The excitement of the artist at the easel for the scientist in the lab comes close to the ideal fulfillment we all hope to get from life and so rarely do."

--Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in Creativity Flow and the Psychology of Discovery

“It is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving.”

- Oliver Wendell Holmes

Or as Les Brown says, our current circumstances in no way define who we are.
