creative needs pathways
You need to create pathways in your consciousness through which the creative forces operate.
inspiration responsibility self
We imagine that if we had time we would quiet our more shallow selves and listen to a deeper flow of inspiration. Again, this is a myth that lets us off the hook - if I wait for enough time to listen, I don't have to listen now, I don't have to take responsibility for being available to what is trying to bubble up today.
creativity joy focus
You will learn to enjoy the process... and to surrender your need to control the result. You will discover the joy of practising your creativity. The process, not the product, will become your focus.
excellence way done
Doing work points the way to new and better work to be done.
creativity sensible has-beens
Creativity is not and never has been sensible.
successful self challenges
Selecting a challenge and meeting it creates a sense of self-empowerment that becomes the ground for further successful challenges.
encouragement pregnancy artist
Most artists, ashamed of their need for encouragement, try to carry their work to term like a secret pregnancy.
taken loss answers
I learned, when hit by loss, to ask the right question: "What next?" instead of "Why me?" . . . Whenever I am willing to ask "What is necessary next?" I have moved ahead. Whenever I have taken no for a final answer I have stalled and gotten stuck.
believe perfect honor
I honor my importance and the importance of others. None of us is dispensable, none of us is replacable. In the chorus of life each of us brings a True Note, a perfect pitch that adds to the harmony of the whole. I act creatively and consciously to actively endorse and encourage the expansion of those whose lives I touch. Believing in the goodness of each, I add to the goodness of all. We bless each other even in passing.
spiritual creativity practice
Creativity is God's will for us and should be practiced like any other spiritual practice -a day at a time.
creativity
Creativity makes life useful to us. It also makes us useful to life.
writing today
Did you write today? Then you're a writer today.
heart love-is listening
I bless the wisdom of my loving heart. Love is a form of listening. I listen with a loving heart. I listen to the love within my heart and I hear the love in the hearts of others.
art lying healing
An artist requires the upkeep of creative solitude. An artist requires the healing of time alone. Without this period of recharging, our artist becomes depleted. Until we experience the freedom of solitude, we cannot connect authentically. We may be enmeshed, but we are not encountered. Art lies in the moment of encounter. We meet our truth and we meet ourselves and we meet our self-expression.
