Head Trips....The Curse or Blessing of The Gemini Mind

[PK]

Okay, let me just spit it out, I'm a Gemini, anyone who lives with one, or is one them selves will totally get this post. For you all who's never experienced the true meaning of what that means, trust me when I say, it's called duality at it's highest level, with a touch of chaos, mixed with frustration and super over load of ADHD. We're what astrologers call the multitaskers of the universe, that's in the positive, or our worst enemy.

Running business for us Gemini's can be wonderful if we don't get in our heads that we gotta do everything, oh yea, all at once. One minute we're on one tangent, the next we got a bright idea and we're off in our own head doing that too. Some times it's a curse, other times it works wonders. The question is, how do we figure out how to use our skills with out fighting with our selves?

Worst yet, being the artist type, just puts it off the charts. That brings me to my dilemma.

How do we make what we love to do, and yet still create for the masses that have the money to buy what we make? It's a catch 22. Simply put, anything creative can and is an addiction. For me any way. So I have to some how balance bringing in an income to support my addiction, and yet still feel I'm being true to myself. (The manic Creative addicted man woman.) I'm always trying to figure how not to sell myself out to the mundane trends, that seem to sell, and every one on etsy is doing. I just feel my stomach get all knotted when I think of just producing. But I still have to support my shop, overhead, you know the drill. (Plus those of you who know etsy, will understand that when something new comes out, everyone starts to do it, like wild fire, than it's saturates the market, and everything looks so common.) That's so not like me.

I feel I'm beating myself over the head everyday, just to find a niche that suites my needs, and most of all makes me happy. If you feel my pain, let me know. Any advice, I'd take it too.

Thanks for the ear.
