I love a good TED Talk, and Shonda Rhimes, the Titan of Television, has said yes to giving us almost 20 minutes inside of that global brain of hers. Public speaking is something Shonda was never particularly fond of doing, but she proves that by simply saying one word, you can break through boundaries and conquer your fears.
She gives us the reality of the dream job…
She explains how much she loves working, how much joy it gives her, and how much she had to work to get to where she is now…
But at some point, the “hum” that inspired all of her work and creativity stopped. She was overworked and asked herself, “What do you do when the thing you do, the work you love, starts to taste like dust?” By saying yes to “less work and more play”. Shonda realized that the real hum, the real joy in life is love, confidence, and peace.
Saying yes changed Shonda’s life, and it can change yours too.
