Have you ever asked: What if I could work for myself? How can I pursue my creative dreams? How do I become more successful?
The idea of being creative triggers mixed reactions. Some people admit to feeling a passion for creative activities, but modestly claim their efforts aren’t good enough. Others shake their heads as if to push the thought away and say they have to make a real living.
Margery Walshaw has worked with creatives throughout the world. She’s noticed that those who are most successful view life as if seeing a rainbow — dramatically and in full color.
Here she has written an empowering guide to help businesses and individuals, even those who aren’t in artistic fields, find their creative spark and develop the self-belief and tools to make their business and personal life flourish.
She encourages people to release preconceived ideas and harmful phrases such as “I can’t” and “what if” while moving purposefully toward a life that is happier, more fulfilling, and responsible.
More than a testament for creative expression, Full Color Life provides inspiration and instruction for individuals and businesses. It’s about embracing challenges, finding opportunities, and discovering those elusive rainbows that lead us to a creative, balanced life.
Read this book and enjoy the journey in your Full Color Life.
My Review: Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Margery is a true cheerleader. Her wonderful book of how to live a creative life really brought so many outcomes, troubles, and ideas that we all go through, which stops us from doing what we love. Loved how she added interviews of actors and writers who all at some point ran into struggles in getting to where they are at today. The key is to never give up and to take negative thoughts away. She broke the book up into three sections. The three parts were self-belief, discipline, and perseverance. A combination of all these three aspects will make us see our goal and accomplish it without procrastination. I was struggling to start a masters program, and I just keep on stressing out the amount of work and time I need to put into it. I add so much negativity that it stops me from achieving my goals. After reading this book, I will take Margery’s ideas and thoughts because, yes, I can do it, and so can you.
