S2 E10: Creative Fundamentals; Ways to Find Your Spark - Book Review

My quest to read and review books on creativity led me to purchase, The Spark, Igniting The Creative Fire That Lives Within Us All from one of my favourite used bookstores in Brisbane. This book is from Cirque du Soleil and it’s a quickie. Both the book (135 pages) and the review (just over 20 minutes, which for me and my flapping gums might be a record) are brief.

It’s a story about how easy it is to become complacent in our lives and how lessons from the circus can help to re-ignite our passions.

There were a tonne of what I called “nuggets of wisdom” and I hope you enjoy the listen.

📝Takeaways

✨ Take A Chance

Success without passion feels empty and admitting things need to change is hard. Just because you have no idea what you’re looking for doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep searching.

🚪 Don’t Overthink Things

Unexpected opportunities may actually be the right path forward. Open a new door (or several) to see where it might lead.

🎯 Get Comfy With Being Uncomfortable

Change demands courage. Stepping beyond your comfort zone and embracing mistakes is where you will grow.
