Just an exceptionally inspiring post from Seth:
"Fabulous"
This is so cool: because we only look at things we want to look at, only talk about things worth talking about, the amount of fabulous in the world continues to rise exponentially.
Even though we're at the tail end of the great recession, think about all the cool stuff in your life. Not just stuff you can buy, but experiences, works of art, innovations of all kinds... the bar has been raised for what you need to do to be noticed, and the market is responding.
Not only do I notice more fabulous, but it sure seems as though the creators of it are more engaged, dedicated and yes, joyful, than I can remember. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do work that matters, this is it. You can't say, "but I need to make a fortune instead," because that's not happening right now. So you might as well join the people who can say, "I love doing this."
There is certainly something to be said for seeing more "fabulous" in the design world today. It's very true that in this market, you can't simply put out a mediocre product and expect to reap fantastic fortunes. You have to be innovative. You have to be visually striking. You have to have something so unique that it is simply impossible for people NOT to want what you have to offer.
Words to live by even in a normal economic climate...
