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.

So now that I know it there I just need to learn to better manage my time to give myself time to be creative and free to create.
I would be more creative if I stopped letting little things choke me up. Little things like school work, personal relationships, computer space, and time. My biggest problem with my creativity right now is that I’m not making time for myself to be creative, instead I’m becoming trapped.
I would be more creative if I would slow down and think about things more, instead of trying to get projects finished and out the door.
I’d be more creative if I’d overcome my lazyness..
I’d be more creative if I stopped going out to the workshop making longboard skateboards instead of working on a complete makeover of my portfolio….
