Ikigai

The beginning of this book seemed unrealistic and generic as other self help books are. One sentence in the book was rather eye opening.
Being a practising artist it's difficult not to think about selling work. In the midst of it all you lose sense of achievement and progressing in your profession. To do it better quickly, you do it worse. However, when the author talked about how artists have no retirement age. That stayed with me. My profession actually allows freedom from the rat race. My life doesn't end at 60.
I am free to be me until the end of me.
