| “ I believe quite simply that our purpose is to be and live in Joy and when we do all the other particulars fall into place. The vocational choices fall into place; which way do I go next falls into place. All the direction and guidance falls into place. When we come from that place of Joy. Joy, creativity and self expression are synonymous.” Excerpt from the film “Do What Makes Your Heart Sing.” Quote by David Ault |
| Over 2500 years ago the Buddha describes the practice of Right Livelihood as work consciously chosen, done with full awareness and leading to enlightenment. 300 years later Patanjali suggest the meaning of man’s existence is to continue the work of creation. 1000 years later the sufi poet Rumi tells us to, “Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do.” Today thousands of painters,singers,songwriters, chefs, dancers, poets, actors, speakers, writers, film makers and creative beings from all walks of life are awakening to this ancient and now contemporary wisdom by consciously creating livelihoods that not only embody creative self expression but also meaning, fulfillment and enjoyment. Allowing yourself to create work of this sort is predicated upon high self-esteem and self-trust, since only those who truly honor the innate need to express themselves dare to choose on behalf of what feels joyful and makes their heart sing. |

| "What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you.This is what I call, 'Following Your Bliss.' If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you. And the life that you ought to be living, is the one you ARE living. Wherever you are, if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open doors for you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be." Joseph Campbell |
