The power of art...
I have been thinking about this idea a lot this year.
How might art save us in this dark year?
How might art offer a new imagination to representation for social justice?
How might creativity move us from despair?
In our solitude, we might feel less alone. Less isolated. If there were greater sense of purpose, we could read whatever we always wanted to read.
Seeking mastery, we might learn how to learn new hobbies - from cooking to scrapbooking.
So much to learn and now we have this time this year, but we wish it away to get back to normal. The business of traveling and jetting around the world. Now we zoom.
Wherever we go there we are.
How do we chase success?
How do we fear failure?
How do we strive for mastery?
To learn, to grow, to live. I wonder...
Listen to this:
Brené Brown: Hi everyone, I’m Brené Brown, and welcome to the Dare to Lead Podcast. This is such a great conversation. Grab your journal, grab a pen and a piece of paper, you’re going to want to take notes on this one. It is somewhere between a full-on, geek out kind of nerdriffic conversation and just wholeheartedness. And for me, personally, moving conversation with Dr. Sarah Lewis. So it’s a two-part series. This is Part One. We talk about her book, The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery. And Sarah and I talk about why the word failure doesn’t quite capture the often transformative experience of falling and beginning again. We also talk about the difference between success and mastery. And for me, this is so important because mastery is very important to me and not something we talk about enough. And we also talk about the power of setting audacious goals that are right outside our grasp. I cannot wait to bring you this conversation. I think you are going to love it. Dr. Sarah Lewis, it’s moving, it’s a moving conversation.
