How to best balance making the most of the things you are good at and at the same time experimenting with the things you most enjoy? If they are the same thing, what a gift. If very different, also a gift. I’m in the process of moving away from woodworking, which I enjoyed for many years, to work in multi-media constructions, requiring a new set of skills and allowing for a greater degree of freedom. I’m enjoying being back in the role of learner, finding my expectations for myself are more flexible, resulting in a more lighthearted approach to my work. Will I be good at it? I don’t even know what that means. Will I have a good time? Now we’re asking a better question.
