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.
[Why Do We Fail poster by Allen Ruppersberg]
I’d be more creative if I believed in myself the way others believe in me.
bummer johny. =(
I’d be more creative if… ” I didn’t have to take as much creative direction from an account coordinator who’s relaying a message from an account manager whom is receiving direction from the account director, getting creative from the marketing manager, who is in turn considering the brand guidelines wondering if that’s right messaging to use, being applied in a separate market.
I’d be more creative if my day job didn’t consume my life.
…if I allocated the time to start at least one of the projects on my list of ideas.
I’d be more creative if I followed through with more ideas.
I have no shortage of creative ideas that I ant to pursue. It’s just actually getting out there and doing them that holds me back.
