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’d 1) clean up, organize, get rid of the physical clutter that weighs me down and 2) paste the camera to my face and give myself permission to be… give in to the blinders-on, freefall, nonjudgmental experimentation and jumping-without-a-net exhilaration that is creativity. (That’s how it can be for me sometimes, anyway.)
… if I had more free time each day.
… if I wasn’t stuck in a cubicle from 8-5.
… if I took more risks.
… if I had more money to be able to afford the right tools.
… if I didn’t have to worry about paying the bills.
If I wasnt afraid to look silly to onlookers or clients and then the idea not even work out…
I’d be more creative if I just let go of everything that I would “blame” for holding me back.
Just start writing down your ideas and pursue your creativity.
i’d be more creative if i would achieve the balance of mind, body and spirit and be present at the moment.
