I’d Be More Creative If…

Allen Ruppersberg why do we fail

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.

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…”

Now it’s your turn.

    I’d be more creative if I can get focus on one thing and not trying to do all at the same time.
