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 was going to say:
    “… if I could drive. So I could explore further on my own without worrying about my companion’s boredom threshold.”

    but then I smacked my forehead and said:
    “…if I just used a little more imagination instead of finding practical excuses.”

    …. if I could take pictures without a camera but with my eyes. Just imagine the possibilities!
    ….. also if I could worry less about failure and a nonsuccessfull career.

    … if I could let my anxiety and self doubt go for 1/1000 of a second and just let the shutter fly with my ideas…
