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 would be more creative if I was more confident in my life.

    This thread made me tear up a little bit. Next time we view a photo or other work of art, even if we’re tempted to criticize it lets try to find something we truly and honestly enjoy about it and relay that to the artist.

    Lets all encourage each other so that hopefully we can stop worrying about what others will think of our work… I’m sure we’ll end up better off in life.

    I’d be more creative if I stopped trying to make everyone happy.

    I’d be more creative if my damn left brain didn’t always beat my right brain. If my left side had its way, I would wake up and head out on foot rather than get in my car to rat race to the office to pay fund this trip called life. It is such a catch-22. Er, I’d be more creative without these excuses.
    G2G – I’m going to go get creative.
