Keys To Creativity

September 2, 2011

As you can see in the picture, I have filled up my living space with art. I do not have a television anymore so I listen to talk radio in the early morning and late night. Last night I heard a caller ask an interesting question.

The caller inquired of the host, “How do you reinvent yourself and stay so creative?”

The nationwide talkshow host quickly replied,” The answer is determination and anxiety. These two things are what makes one struggle and succeed. You can’t quit. You must keep going and working and creating. Things are not given to you. Nothing will ever just happen. You must make it happen.”

He went on to say,” I never have understood people who stop working and retire. Why do people just stop and sit around? God will tell you when it is time to stop. I will work until then.”

I am certainly anxious and most of the time I feel a sense of desperation. I know this uneasiness is one of the things that makes me stay busy. I have a hard time sitting still. If I can focus my energy I can get a lot done. I do not want to be a engine running in idle. I must keep myself in gear. If I can aim my anxiety in the right direction I hope I can make a difference. I will keep on working.

This is a new month with new goals. I am making progress and the stone is rolling. I found out I will be in the Candler Park Fall Fest on October 15th and 16th.
