In this section I'll show how your day job can "feed" your passion or art, and vice versa. The work you love and the work that pays the bills don't have to be enemies; in fact, your whole life will run more smoothly if they make friends with each other.
I you're in a job that seems utterly bereft of redeeming qualities, you may find this hard to believe. However, I hope to convince you that trying out the practices I describe in the following chapters can only do you good, no matter how demoralizing you might find your current pay-the-bills work. This isn't to say that you shouldn't look for a new position, just that you owe it to yourself to make the best of the one you have.
If you couple this approach to your job with the Creative Jumpstart described in Section I, it's likely that you'll see changes in your quality of life immediately. These changes will initiate a synergistic process whereby every action you take on behalf of your dream will generate creative energy that spills over into your job, and every action you take to make the most of the opportunities your job presents will further your dream.
I'll start this section by showing you why you need to make friends with your day job, and how to do it.
