What are you going to do with your burnout? How are you going to express yourself? How do you get on track to move into your creative purpose? I think the key is in the doing, each day, everyday. Show up, chop the wood, bring the water. Keep working, keep speaking, keep writing. Then do it again tomorrow.
It’s all resistance
Wait you? You have no credentials, certification or expertise in the subject! Wait you? Where are your followers, supporters, people that are hitting your like button? Wait you? Where is your tribe or six figure income? Who do you think you are? Let’s face it, it’s all resistance.
Find your practice
Find the work that works for you. Find your practice, find your purpose. Don’t settle for title, don’t settle for paycheck, work your magic, find your practice. Because it’s in the practice that will lead to your purpose.
Another Day
Today’s a new day, a new opportunity to create something that didn’t exist yesterday. You have the brush, you have the canvas, you have the paints, what will you create? You have the paper, you have the pen, what will you create? You’ve been given another day, what will you do with it?
Embrace the practice
Life is both simple and complex, living with no guarantees is difficult to say the least. What you think is your best work may not get notice. What seems to be your worst work sometimes gets the highest praise. You never know. All You can do is look past the rules and regulations of creativity and embrace the practice.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
5, 4, 3, 2, 1… and we have lift off! What are you trying to rise up to today? Where are you trying to go? What do you hope to accomplish? Where will the practice of your work take you? Are you ok with the results?
Embrace the Sea
“To move forward, We must be willing to leave the sea shore’s certainty and embrace the raging sea’s uncertainty.”
Write, Write, Write!
Write, write, write! I must put the pen to the paper today! I can’t base it on feeling’s because they come and go. I can’t base it on writer’s block because I’m hearing there’s no such thing. I must show up today and do my work!
The squirrel and barbed wire
Recently while taking a morning walk in the park, I noticed a squirrel running untouched between two v-shaped barbed wires on top of a chain linked fence. And while it might be difficult to imagine, I thought what’s the lesson here? I believe all creative work involves risk. It involves showing up, during the work, shipping, without any guarantee of success. Your gonna get stuck, pricked, cut, sliced etc. but like the squirrel you have to keep moving until you get to the tree, keep moving until the reward finds you. Then do it again, and again, and again.
To achieve success, you have to take risks be willing to step out of your
It’s time for practice
The horn is sounding, the bell is ringing; it’s time for practice, will you answer the call?
