VIEWS ARE MY OWN

OPINIONS ON THIS PAGE ARE MY PERSONAL VIEWS

Shakespeare said "All the world's a stage . . ." I agree! I believe that life is one big improvisation! I love helping leaders explore the way art and creativity can improve life and intersect with the business/non-profit world! What do you want to learn today? What do you want to create? Let's do a scene!

Stop Copying

Being unique is a choice.

It's a risky choice that many people don't want to take.

Isn't it funny, though, that when someone DOES make that risky choice, others follow suit. The copycats come out. They want to dress like; look like; or create a product like that successful NEW thing. They want a little part of the creativity and innovation.

Today, I challenge you to get out of a copying mindset and get in to a creating mindset.

Baby steps are easy:

  • Instead of reading the bestseller that everyone else is reading, find an obscure writer and see if there's something there that intrigues.
  • Instead of seeing that blockbuster, find an indy film.
  • Instead of wearing the latest fashion trend, wear something that you LOVE.
  • Instead of brainstorming to create something LIKE another something that's popular right now, brainstorm to create something that fills a NEED.

5 Sentences on Creativity

Creating is for EVERY human being. Realize it is your BIRTHRIGHT, not the exclusive domain of a few. Everyone has a creative SUPERPOWER; it's up to you to use yours daily to express your unique CREATIVITY. At the center of all despair, is someone who is HIDING their uniqueness, their special force -don't let that happen to you. The TIME is already there; understanding you might have to give up something to reclaim that time. Enjoy the process, get your hands dirty, CREATE!
