Follow your intuition when you want more of what you've already got. Get more creative when you want something else.

Creativity is almost ready...
The less creative you feel, the closer you are to feeling creative again.

Let It Flow
Can you tell when you're holding back? Or, are your senses dulled when things get dull and the sparkling shine fades away?
Creativity can act like water: sometimes we need to prime the pump to get it flowing. Let it flow. Move it forward. There will be surprises. There will be storms. I really do believe that the best thing you will ever create has not yet been created. It awaits your initiative, your verve, your motion.
You can't help but be creative -- no need to hold back.

Better than not perfect

Push Against Your Limits
Creativity, like leadership, requires us to stretch. To be at our most creative we must grow. Since we are surrounded by limitations, that can cause some discomfort. Which boundaries should we cross? Which lines are mental and which are metal?
How do we create without getting hurt (or worse, hurting?)
I'm not sure. Maybe that's the wrong question. Maybe the question is -- what limits should we ignore today? What limits should we buck against and stretch?
If a limit is telling you that you are NOT creative -- ignore it.
If a limit is telling you that you cannot grow -- defy it.
If a limit is telling you that the world doesn't need your creativity -- laugh it off.
The world needs you. The world needs your creativity. The world needs you at your creative best.
The creative life pushes against limits.
Keep pushing.
