You probably know the brain theory by heart (an oxymoron?) by now: the left is the analytical, logical and linear mind, while the right side is the holistic, non-linear and pattern-oriented artistic half. I have been working as a strategist for a financial firm and have gone the whole circle from starting out with a scientific approach to becoming an artist in pattern recognition. (The world is a deterministic system with a little randomness sprinkled around to confuse the non-creative folks!) Add to that that I am paid to connect with people and you are left with a good description of a spiritual path. Just imagine my surprise when one day I woke up and realized that I am getting paid for traveling my spiritual path!
I want to leave you with one economic prediction: the world is moving into a knowledge-based society with a handsome reward for artistic minds. Travel your spiritual path and express yourself creatively at work and you will have a hard time speparating work from hobby. For those of you who want to pursue this theme a little more there are a couple of excellent books I would refer you to. "A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future", by Daniel H. Pink and "The Rise of the Creative Class", by Richard Florida.
