Justin Fenwick created 6 energetic diagrams on a plane ride home discussing social movement, information sharing, and management. The diagrams surprised him with what had been turned on inside of him. He must journal differences, capture new learnings, track them, adjust interactions with others to allow for authenticity, seek feedback, share ideas, validate others, and manage time flexibly. Learning to discover identity and have permission to go with instincts are important. Creativity is difficult work, especially in new contexts like business school. Holiday break will help him hold true to commitments to try living flexibly and flowing with inspiration, assessing feedback from the world. His goal is living fully each day.

new learnings, and track them as I go. I must
also, essentially, adjust my interactions with
others to allow for authenticity, seek feedback,
share my ideas and validate theirs, and play
with the management of time.

4. Permission just to go with it...
On my plane ride
home, I was caught
with a bug to furiously
sketch. What I
sketched was very
“Justin” instead of
trying to draw
something that I
thought I should be
drawing. I drew
energetic diagrams
discussing social
movement and
information sharing
and management. Six
in total, I found myself
surprised at what had
been turned on inside
of me.

5. YES AND
"My question is how can we work the hyphen to our benefit and
make it a symphony of our life instead of something that creates
conflict? As you try to market both a hyphenated and focused self.
how can these part become bigger than the sum total? Working the
hyphen and making it AND" ~Taj Johns

something new without fear of
throwing away something old
“What I love about the ride is that the
only rule is 'if your not having fun
lower your standard'. Anything goes
and is encouraged.”
~Cheryl Schneiderhan

My joy is growing. My heart is hanging. When I reflect
on my creative growth I’m searching for new inspiration
and commitment.
I now bring much more attention to life.
As I progressed through the class, I deeply challenged
the meaning of creativity. My assumption was that I was a
creative guy and that struggling to be so would not be
difficult. But this was business school, a whole new
context for my creative mind.
Creativity is hard work, especially in the context of
contexts that do not usually allow it.
What I have is tools to progress further into my right
livelihood. Holiday break will be very healthy for me. I must
hold true to commitments to try it the “flow” way, the way
of my greatest story of right livelihood that is within me.
I will need to take pause often and asses what the
world is telling me. To me, living is the unreachable
goal that inspires daily action.
