I first saw Eric Pollard’s short film ‘Drawn From Here’ at the Mountain Film Festival in Fernie.
If you are like me and love combining your appetite for skiing/mountains and creativity, I think the film is worth a watch and certainly left me feeling inspired to keep going with all that I do.
Some of the take-outs and words that stuck with me from the film were: ⠀
“You’re lucky if you find something in life that you love and it's a miracle if somebody will pay you to do it.”⠀
“The essential principal of business / of occupation in the world is this. Figure out some way in which you get paid to play.”⠀
“As you design your product, you also design your life.”⠀
I didn’t realise until watching this film how much fuller my life feels when it is creatively driven. ⠀
If you haven’t found what pulls you out of bed each morning - “Follow your bliss. Go where your body and soul want to go and when you have that feeling stay with it and don’t let anyone throw you off.”
