The genius that is SETH GODIN will never cease to amaze me.
Here's but another awe-striking, inspiring entry.
I can only wish to be as childlike as he describes.

The Hustler
I've been quoting Seth Godin often enough. So this time, I turn to Chris Guillebeau's words of wisdom.
He believes in the hustler. It's what he strives to be every day.
The image above by Joey Roth is a clear cut illustration of what a hustler is. Seth calls him the linchpin, the indispensable person who both brings ideas to the table and brings them to life. Chris describes him as the person with both style and substance, talks the talk and walks the walk.
Joey Roth's poster, for me, is beautiful because it shows that despite the negative connotation of the term, the hustler is actually a very balanced individual. But similarly to what I feel about Seth Godin's linchpin concept, the question of how does one become a hustler comes to mind... and what does one hustle about?
The search, or at least the bringing to life of what was found, is still on.

To Leaps of Faith & Happier Pastures
A wise old man told me today: "I don't really look at this (change) as a move to greener pastures. It's more of happier pastures for me."
So akin to Seth Godin's recent post about perfect problems that cause us to get stuck. Seth talks about how the perfect problems are the ones left behind, the ones we can't seem to get over, because there are assumed constraints and limitations binding the problem to unsolvability.
His solution is to break the constraint, be unafraid of the results and just dare to move. My friend has reached this conclusion I think. He's dealing with the perfect problems of his industry and of his work overall, by breaking the constraints that bind him to it.
I initially thought he's off to greener pastures because where he's likely going will be a place more open-minded about the type of work he does, giving him more freedom and more room to breathe. He thinks of it as happier pastures because, I guess, he's looking forward to a sense of settlement there, whether or not he stays in the same industry he started in here.
I'm happy for him, he's taking this leap of faith to grow not just his career, but his self, too. There's a whole world beyond the borders of one's comfort zone just waiting to be explored and he's taking it. Told him I wished I had that drive, too. Someday soon, I will.
He says, it comes with age. :)
