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 I could shed some of the “uniformity” I aquired in the military.

    …..if I had a higher level of confidence in my creative abilities.

    I’d be more creative if…. I didn’t have so much real life to deal with!

    …if I had fewer priorities in my life to juggle…

    As you say the quietness of mind needed to be creative is often a fleeting moment rather than the dedicated hours I’d prefer.

    I’d be more creative if I wasn’t regularly paralyzed by the necessity of making money and keeping my to-do list under control.
