Posting on the run, will come back to this later to elaborate:

"For artists, entrepreneurs, and any other driven creators, exercise is a powerful tool in the quest to help transform the persistent uncertainty, fear, and anxiety that accompany the quest to create from a source of suffering into something less toxic, then potentially even into fuel."

This blog post on leadership is falling in nicely with other thoughts that have been running through my mind this week, prompted by Ortberg's book (see earlier posts) which I just finished, and Earl Palmer's sermon on how the Ten Commandments are life-giving. The two Christian pastors have been very helpful in teaching me to see how spiritual disciplines bring freedom, not misery, and I'm slowly testing that out. So far, they are right. 

It's interesting to see the same principles at work on a secular blog on leadership too, and it was helpful to read this blogpost because my work is all ambiguity and very little certainty right now!
