Artists and Creatives are change agents naturally

Creatives imagine new and different scenarios, and new and different worlds. And sometimes we are face resistance from those who want things to stay the same, but more importantly, we get to see, and experience, heightened awareness from our audiences, viewers, and listeners. 

Celebrate that you can be an inspiration by being who you are!

Are you willing to be the creative person you were meant to be?

"I'd rather you take 10 steps wrong, then analyze trying to make one step right, one more day, while someone is waiting to be inspired by you."

from feeling blue to feeling you

These two videos offer different perspectives on sadness and happiness.

I can remember thinking at a certain age that I'm supposed to have the right career and the right life. As a character in one of my favorite movies, "Pleasantville" said, "Life is not supposed to be anything ... There is no right car, there is no right life." Happiness is not necessarily the same for each of us. And what made you happen 6 months ago, or 6 days ago, may not make you happy now. And that's okay.

Be easy on yourself. And one thing to look forward to is that you're going to share creativity that is valuable to someone.

Enjoy yourself regardless.

At times in your personal development, you need to do so while still in a far from optimum environment. It's great to have tools to heal and stay focused regardless.

The Art of Holistic Success

What does holistic success mean to you? How would it feel to feel good about multiple areas of your life, at the same time? To quote motivational speaker and international bestselling author, Lisa Nichols, "Sometimes we're so committed to protecting the image we think we have that we can't create the future we deserve to have."

Do not throw fun out of the window

Creativity does not equal suffering!

Wrong question: Will my work ever be that good again?

Better question: Will I show up, do my thing, enjoy myself, and so allow my audience or my clients to enjoy my creativity, too?
