Don’t Let Stereotypes Destroy Your Creative Freedom

March 6, 2012 2 Comments

I hate the sight of a bird with its wings clipped in a small cage. I hate fish tanks and I don’t like seeing a dog carried everywhere like they’re some kind of fashion accessory.

Birds were made to fly, fish were created to swim and dogs were designed to run.

People will often put you in a tank, or they’ll clip your wings or carry you with them like you’re some kind of fashion accessory.

In these sanitized, safe environments you will have no peace, only a type of claustrophobia that leads to implosion and death.

Refuse to be limited by your personality classification, by your star sign or by the opinions of others.

Never cease being the wildly creative, limitless YOU, that you were always designed to be.

Your Creativity Can Never Be Held Captive

March 5, 2012 1 Comment

Nothing can hold your creativity captive; nothing.

But what about a lack of resource? But “lack” should inspire creativity, we are truly creative when we create things from nothing.

What about a lack of recognition? But your creativity is yours alone, you can do whatever you want with it.

There is nothing stopping you… sing your songs, write your stories, create everywhere, all the time, create without ceasing.

Do it because you have too, not because you want something.

Walking The Strange Road To Failure.

March 2, 2012 2 Comments

Work hard, save your money, provide for your family and your life will be a success.

Really?

Is that it?

Who makes people great? Themselves, providence, fate, God?

Let us be clear greatness is subjective and the desire for your own success may well be your undoing.

Even if you gain the whole world, what a price you have paid if you forfeit your soul in the process?

Don’t Forget The Voice That Called You.

February 29, 2012 0 Comments

Some time ago you decided to embark upon a great adventure. It wasn’t a fancy or whim that called you into the wild; it was a still strong voice.

Do you remember why you embarked upon this adventure?

Why do you do what you do? What is it you do?

Do not forget the beginning of your story, for that is where it all began.

In the beginning things were pure and unadulterated, void of cynicism, full of hope and life… remember.

Creative Obstacles On The Dreamers Journey

February 28, 2012 0 Comments

Always expect obstacles as you stumble along the dreamers road. There will be hills too difficult to climb, crevasses too wide to pass, and deserts too empty and barren to cross.

For the dreamer dreams of the impossible not the possible.

Obstacles are not a sign that you stop, they are a sign that you should continue.

Getting lost, sidetracked, hijacked or kidnapped are vital parts of the dreamers journey, for they enrich and inform, they make the dreamers story great.

Don’t give up, you are almost at the exciting part, look again.

The hill is not to difficult too climb, the crevasse is not too wide to pass and the desert is not too barren to cross.

The Importance of Getting Rid Of Yourself

February 27, 2012 1 Comment

The world is full of people clambering for success, the last thing it “really needs” is my own golden success.

What do I mean?

I feel like I am getting broken down, piece by piece, day after day, month after month, year after year. Eventually there will be nothing left of me; no ego, no desire for fame, no need for personal significance, nothing that requires me to snatch and take for myself.

Perhaps then, I will be ready to tell a truly good story.

Yes, you can do anything in this life, but not everything is good.

Our creative dreams, need to be about something other than ourselves for them to be of any lasting value at all.
