Art and Career Goals

For me, art is about contemplation. Looking for meaning, or perhaps, looking just to find out that there is no meaning. And isn’t that a meaning in itself? 

Being mindful is important in the workforce. You need to be open to what people have to say, and understand that their experiences could lead them to a different conclusion than one’s own. It is important to contemplate all points of view in order to reach the best solution to any given problem. The enjoyment of art teaches this skill.  

Music is one of my favorite forms of art. In the past, I have had jobs that induce significant amounts of stress, if only for short amounts of time. I have often turned to music in order to calm down and manage that stress.
