In part three of Big Magic, Liz introduces us to her parents.
Her mother – a nurse who always believed that she could build/sew/grow/knit/mend/patch/paint/decoupage anything they ever needed.
Her father – a chemical engineer who decided that he also wanted to be a Christmas tree farmer, a goat raiser, and a beekeeper over a period of time. To describe her father, Liz says "He didn't quit his day job to follow his dream, he just folded his dream into his every day life."
Respond to this quote. While it doesn't apply to everyone's situation (some dreams necessitate pursuing it wholeheartedly), what do you think about this approach to following your dreams?
