Great post from Emily McPhie about a word and concept I was unfamiliar with. It’s called entelechy. I especially liked the two quotes she shared:
“Entelechy is a particular type of motivation, need for self-determination, and an inner strength and vital force directing life and growth to become all one is capable of being.” – Deirdre Lovecky
“The tricky thing about being in the entertainment industry is that basically no matter how much money is involved, how good the life is, the thing that still compels you is that thing inside.” – Tim Burton
So how strong is your own entelechy? How deep is your drive to make whatever it is you feel compelled to make? What one step, no matter how small, will you take today to move (at least) one step closer to your creative goals?
