Even at our most creative moments, we could go further if it were not for that little voice inside our head.
And that little voice puts up roadblocks. Sometimes those roadblocks are real, but more often those roadblocks are completely constructed from nothing but irrational fear or the most basic of actions. Perhaps knowing that other people share many of the same silly roadblocks–and even knowing what some of them are–will help us all move through them.

So today’s post is simple. Let’s put it out there. Just complete the sentence “I’d be more creative if…”
I’ll start us off. I’d be more creative if I more regularly created the quietness in my life that creativity requires.

[Why Do We Fail poster by Allen Ruppersberg]
I’d be more creative if I stopped worrying about “shoulds.” As the saying goes, “Don’t should on yourself.”
“There is always room for something new. But most people who might be the source of that new thing will give up in frustration before they get to realize it.” –Todd Rundgren
I’d be more creative if I had more time.
If I would stop getting in my own way.
I’d be more creative if I could get even bigger and better creative teams around me. I like to feed on a pool of creativity around me when shooting – then I need not be the only one with the ideas – instead I like to steer creative ideas towards the given goal.
