Creative inspiration – Motivation to keep creating #2

You seemed to have enjoyed the first article of motivation to keep creating. Here are 3 more of my tools to keep creating.

The Creative Unknown

The creative unknown is a term that has come up a few times in my articles, and it’s something I want to expand upon a little bit more.

Stats and analytics – Feedback; Not the goal

Too many people, including my past self, who upload their creative work online are too obsessed and worried about the stats and analytics. Their art suffers to meet certain criteria to gain views or likes, instead of creating art that… Continue Reading →

Peace

"Some poor, phoneless fool is probably sitting next to a waterfall somewhere, completely unaware of how angry and scared he's supposed to be." - Duncan Trussell

A Treasure Map

“Every time I read a great book I felt I was reading a kind of map, a treasure map, and the treasure I was being directed to was in actual fact myself. But each map was incomplete, and I would only locate the treasure if I read all the books, and so the process of finding my best self was an endless quest.

The Practice of Groundedness

"Groundedness does not eliminate passion, productivity, or all forms of striving and ambition. Instead, it is about ditching an omnipresent and frantic anxiety to begin living in alignment with your innermost values, pursuing your interests, and expressing your authentic self in the here and now. When you are grounded there is no need to look up or down. You are where you are, and you hold true strength and power from that position. Your success, and the way in which you pursue it, becomes more enduring and robust. You gain the confidence to opt out of the consumer-driven rat-race that leaves you feeling like you are never enough."

Alive

"To be alive is the biggest fear humans have. Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are." -  Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
