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.

    …if I stopped to doubt myself, take myself more seriously and respect myself and what I’m doing. II come from a hard working family. Both of my parents had been working hard on fulfilling others dreams. Working in a creative niche was far from what they thought was reality. I do not think working a 8-5 job is an excuse of not being creative enough. I think it’s our inability to shot everything up and just obsorb our environment and the things around us and see them in a new, creative way.

    I have everything I need to be creative. There is nothing holding us back from our creativity.

    I’d be more creative if I listened to every creative impulse and acted on it instead of mentally shelving it for later. Blessings. One Love!
