Creative Every Day: What You Are

What you are is what you are.

If you try to deny the truth of who and what you are, you will be in pain.

Worse, if you insist that others validate your untruths about who and what you are, they will probably not enjoy it much.

Isn’t it so much easier to just relax and be yourself?

Creative folks may have to go through an adjustment phase on this because we don’t exactly live in a world that embraces the creative process. So, you’ll have to embrace your creative side first, if you want others to embrace it, as well.

If a right-brain person is waiting to be more like a left-brain person before she can master anything, she is going to be waiting for a really long time.

But if she can explore and experiment with what works for her within her current context, and strive for her own definition of time-management success (assuming it harmonizes with those around her), then she will start to thrive because she takes who she is into account.

Accept yourself. Accept the way you are. And then go from there. Everything will work better. Does anyone else notice this?

    I agree. By putting our intentions out into the universe, it always seems to follow that the world makes a little more space for us to be the person we claim to be. It sounds a little woo-woo, but I swear it works. Perhaps by first making a declaration to act, then taking steps towards that action, we become a tiny snowball picking up mass and speed as we keep rolling. Thanks for the reminder!
    Best,

    It’s true. We all need to carry ourselves proud, even us creative types.
