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. 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.

Now it’s your turn.

    I’d be more creative if my lizard brain didn’t question every decision I try to make.

    I would be more creative if I stopped being afraid – afraid of how I will pay the bills, afraid of failure, afraid of my own limitations, afraid of what people think about my work.

    I’d be more creative if I took fewer, better photos.
