I write about creativity and creating careers that people will love. People long for careers that are satisfying and profitable, but many never work out just how to get there.
It has been something that has bothered me most of my life, so I set out to know how its possible.INeedToCreatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11475611246677860671noreply@blogger.comBlogger45125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496698980826437192.post-66365849910753357252011-01-18T05:42:00.000-08:002011-01-18T05:42:19.574-08:00wholistic / connected self<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Locking a creative person in a Hardware store is like locking a kid in a Toy shop.<br />
<br />
For the innovator, the world is one great big Hardware store.<br />
<br />
For creative people, areas of knowledge are just shelves in a supermarket, full of goodies.<br />
<br />
An innovator can be categorized as some one who ignores categories.<br />
<br />
Categories are the prisons built for established specialists.<br />
<br />
Ideas are limited by the silly walls built around fields of knowledge.</span>INeedToCreatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11475611246677860671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496698980826437192.post-18296171348583111152011-01-18T05:39:00.000-08:002011-01-18T05:39:05.557-08:00Visual communication<div style="font: 14.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #050000; font-family: 'Myriad MM';">Even an Interior Decorator can SAY something about the character of the building & purpose of the spaces.</span></div><div style="font: 14.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #050000; font-family: 'Myriad MM';"><br />

Distraction is the avoidance of attempting new things.</span></div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"> <br />
If you never create, you'll tell yourself you can't do it. If you do create, you'll still need to remind yourself that it was you.<br />
<br />
The real buzz is creating something you haven't done before. You surprise yourself everyday.<br />
<br />
Creativity is about doing stuff you haven't done before. You begin by fearing it. Then you begin to love it.</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Life is a fluid situation. Sometimes you gotta get your feet wet.</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">No one is ready to graduate or ready for the job interview, or ready to work for themselves. But they begin.<br />
<br />
So many wait impatiently for a limo, when the bus was all they needed.<br />
<br />
No one is ever 100% ready to begin. So many put off the work of their dreams forever.<br />
<br />
Procrastination is indecision. Indecision is resistance.<br />
<br />
People wait for decades until they feel ready. The world also waits.<br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">You need to actively chase projects you want to do. Or you WILL be doing uninteresting work.</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Stagnation is making what you know well. Enthusiasm is for what we have only imagined.</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Don't need to wait for a job you've already done. Chase the creative career you want.<br />
<br />
Obvious enthusiasm is more valuable than career experience.<br />
<br />
You're not the sum of you work experience. Aim for your career expectations.</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Don't be distracted by what you can do. Focus on what you want to create.<br />
<br />
Stagnation, indecisive, procrastination, unmotivated & frustrated: all symptoms of no clear vision for your future career. </div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">You know you are creating when you say, "I have no idea what I'm doing".</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">People who know how, didn't know how when they began.<br />
<br />
We all imagine a tight-rope between today and our ideal future.<br />
<br />
To create is a risk. Not creating is a bigger risk.</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">10,000 say, "I don't know how", and never start. A rare few say, "I will figure it out" and begin.</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Some wait for the perfect time. Some are waiting to be perfect.<br />
<br />
We wait until we are ready, willing & able. But we just need to be willing.</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">People say they aren't creative. What they mean is: "I feel safe in my box".<br />
<br />
Many say, "I'm not creative". (Translation: "I got by up till now").<br />
<br />
For the past 50 years you could get by without being creative. Not any more.</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I few minutes writing your thoughts down everyday is a great start to a more creative life.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The first step in a transition to a more creative life is to accept your need to create regularly.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's about Task Management, not time management. Focus on your strengths.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Remember, People who are good at wasting their time, are good at wasting yours too.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Can't decide how best to use your time? Love knows when to say Yes. Wisdom knows when to say No.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Want to save a lot of time? Give people what they need, not what they want.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We spend our whole life waiting for the perfect time. But life isn't perfect.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Everyone needs a Creative Retreat. But that sounds defeatist. Let's call it a Creative Takeover.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We have no time to create because we have an over inflated sense of duty to go beyond our needs.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Today we have more opportunity to fill up our time, instead of protecting pockets of time to explore opportunities.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Your idea must be more valued than the compulsion to fill ever moment with mildly amusing distractions.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ever experienced the subtle pressure not to create? "Oh, you're not doing much, can you help me"(?)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When we accept the mental cycle of "Need to work & deserve a rest", we won't allow ourselves time to create.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Great way to be more creative: What can you create that will be finished by sunset?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">If people don't value your time, they don't value what you're doing.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Time should be shared, exchanged & given voluntarily. Not expected from you.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Time is valuable. People can expect too much of it from you.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Your life isn't giving your time away. It's devoting you time to what you love.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's easy to say, "When I've organised everything, then I'll create". That makes your art the lowest priority.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">There will always, always be something else to do. But you CAN find 15 minutes to create everyday.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I wonder what’s on the Procrasta-vision?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Maybe I'll aimlessly surf the Procrasta-net?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We wait for the mythical 'When'...but the 'NOW' is your moment.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow will be a better day to start... ...Start TODAY will a better tomorrow be.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The greatest gift to yourself is TIME...YOU are one of your priorities.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I've been guilty of over planning & under achieving.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Education is a wonderful thing but it conditions people to learn first, THEN apply it in the real world.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">'Beginning' has a wonderful effect; What you thought was too hard & too tiring is often only an illusion.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The best way forward is often a bit to the left or right.

In the old days (when everything was still in black & white) ...actually, that sums up the newspaper I worked for. <div><br />
</div><div>To be fair, newspapers did have color. You could have red or blue. But that was a lot of extra work.<br />
<br />
In an early newspaper job, I would keep the drawings & photos in this thing called a Filing Cabinet.<br />
<br />
Change is normal; I was a Paste-Up Artist for a newspaper. Yes, thats real 'Cut & Paste' people.<br />

Be open to change.

<br />
When Major Purpose says, "Start flying". You say, "How high?"<br />
<br />
People should only watch TV if they take notes. Me included.<br />
<br />
If you can't decide what you're passionate about, you can decide what most disturbs you.<br />
<br />
Your greatest discovery will be when you realize your area of greatest potential.<br />
<br />
No one really knows what is or isn't possible.<br />
<br />
Let us see more broadly, imagine more deeply, experiment more regularly.<br />
<br />
The world says, "Find your passion". I say, "Find your burden & make the solution your passion".<br />
<br />
It's easy to find passion in Sport & Leisure, but in answers to our burdens, we find our purpose.<br />
<br />
I knew a man who did humanitarian work but had a nervous breakdown. He didn't know what work he really loved.<br />
<br />
You have a inner hero: You need to solve a common problem, meet a specific need or save someones day.<br />
<br />
Everyone has a Hero Complex. Some just don't know it yet.<br />
<br />
Even blind optimism sees more clearly.<br />
<br />
A person who doesn't decide why they exist, will barely exist at all.<br />
<br />
Your journey IS your goal.</span>INeedToCreatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11475611246677860671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496698980826437192.post-35855313523571801152011-01-18T04:56:00.000-08:002011-01-18T04:56:12.299-08:00Problem solving (solution finding)<div style="color: #050000; font: 16.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">They says, "Find something you're passionate about".

<br />
Your best ideas will be how you spread your ideas.<br />
<br />
Success & Happiness: It’s not what you know, it's knowing what you love.<br />
<br />
An artist hope: To be loved for what you love to do.<br />
<br />
The goal of an artist: To be known for what you know about yourself.<br />
<br />
Many artists want to succeed. Learn from the success of the many artists that have inspired you in the past.<br />
<br />
Amazing things begin to happen when people realize they can do more than they thought.<br />
<br />
One thing most people can do is say, "I can't".<br />
<br />
Everyone is a collector. Some people collect dust.<br />
<br />
Dissatisfaction is the raw ingredient used to create things that give a shared satisfaction.<br />
<br />
We become better at what turns our mind 'ON'. An 'OFF' mind, makes us less capable.<br />
<br />
Find your greatest need & you'll find your greatest motivation.<br />
<br />
The people who are the most motivated have decided what they can't live without.<br />
<br />
Your greatest hunger is not to fill yourself, but to BE yourself.<br />
<br />
One some level, you have your greatest need; a conscious hunger.<br />
<br />
It's not the filled that succeed, but the hungry ones.<br />
<br />
Preparation is the best defense against inevitable desperation.<br />
<br />
People choose to ignore inspiration, but not desperation.</span>INeedToCreatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11475611246677860671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496698980826437192.post-16332017029869345992011-01-18T04:35:00.000-08:002011-01-18T04:35:07.322-08:00Innovation<div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Not everyone has a creative foundation on which you can build an innovative concept.</div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />

It's not what's in the picture. It is our desire to be in these far off places too.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If it doesn't capture your imagination any more. It's time to explore new mediums and subjects.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">People only say, "You're out of your mind", when your imagination has escaped.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Imagination is sweet. Progress should be sweeter. Only your imagination is perfect. Your work is progress. That's enough. Never compare your work to others. Not even to your own imagination.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The artist see's the worts, the audience see's beauty.</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perfectionism is toxic. It will poison everything.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your aim shouldn't be perfection, but progress.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Imagination creates new realities.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Imagination: Your right to freedom of thought.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For me, the key that unlocks my imagination is.....a pencil!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When no one is looking, our imagination comes out of it's hiding place.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Imagination is a creative mind at play. We all have it.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Making connections; they're the games creative minds play.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A visual imagination makes better connections. It's the stuff that ideas are made if.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don't need to think more. Just connect.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a repetitive world, everyone prefers to be in a world of their own.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm sure, without imagination, we would all slip into a semi conscious coma.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">People generally question the imagination of others & themselves.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm a figment of my imagination.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The world is the solidification of imagination & elements.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">People who can imagine the unseen, recognize each other. They see it in them.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not everyone has the imagination to see that your ideas are possible.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">People think of their imagination as just a small, wild creature that got into their roof space.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wild imagination is an endangered species. Should be protected.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My imagination has gone too far. Doesn't it know it's limits?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's just me, my imagination & I.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"It's just my imagination". ("It's just something in me that wants to improve my reality").</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My imagination is running away from me. I really should keep up.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You're not limited by your imagination. Your imagination is limited by you.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">People quickly become bored without electricity. Have we forgotten how to think for ourselves?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For many, a good imagination has been replaced by a good connection or good reception.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Entertainment should spark imaginations. Not replace it.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some people can't imagine what they can do without an output device. They could do a lot & output a lot.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have wild imaginations. Our intuition is our instincts. Creativity, our wilderness to explore.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If we loose our imagination, we loose track of who we are.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The thing that sparks your creativity is the flint of imagination.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Imagination is a strange machine. It's kind of a 3D augmented virtual reality x-ray holographic daydream projection device.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Without imagination, a lot of knowledge would be wasted.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Knowledge is gained in activity, imagination in stillness.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Knowledge is the distillation of the ages. Imagination is the essence of the individual.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Knowledge is earned, imagination is a free gift.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Knowledge is a seed. Imagination waters it.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are given imagination so we know what our talents are for.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Drawing is a better way to imagine, & to communicate your ideas.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A drawing is proof of your imagination. The hardcopy of your hopes.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An active imagination is exercise for a healthy mind.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Imagination is a way to escape the present, & a way to chase the future.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Imagination includes things to what you see, that seems missing from your view.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Imagination is the alternate reality overlaid onto your present reality.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We see with out brains.

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Imagination is the transparency that overlays your visual perception.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Knowledge comes by reading, research & revision. Imagination comes by reflection.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

But keep sharing them.<br />
<br />
Ideas are like orphans left at our door. It's impossible to leave them out in the cold.<br />
<br />
Creative people get so many ideas, to make up for those who ignore their own.<br />
<br />
You have a creative idea. Sometimes, getting it done requires the real creativity.<br />
<br />
Ideas can be shy creatures. They come out when they think you're not looking.<br />
<br />
Great ideas appear when your self critic is distracted by boring stuff.<br />
<br />
No one likes boring work, but that's when you get your best ideas.<br />
<br />
You may by busy but the day isn't wasted if you write your ideas down.<br />
<br />
I've heard of so many people looking for a fresh start by using stale ideas.<br />
<br />
I believe that ideas equals hope. People lack hope because they can't create ideas that will improve their lives.<br />
<br />
I believe that people lack hope for their future because they forgot how to create ideas that will guide them.<br />
<br />
Most of your best thinking happens with a pen in your hand.<br />
<br />
Your best ideas come AFTER the pen is in your hand.<br />
<br />
Big ideas are something you grow into.<br />
<br />
A small idea becomes big with small steps.<br />
<br />
Better the small idea shared than the big idea hidden.<br />
<br />
Make new relationships between ideas and people.<br />
<br />
Ideas are like seagulls. Feed one and more will appear.<br />
<br />
Creativity is when new relationships between ideas & people are encouraged to form.<br />
<br />
Value your ideas enough to put them on paper.<br />
<br />
Don't be too quick to edit yourself & your ideas.<br />
<br />
You want a big future? . . . Follow that big idea.<br />
<br />
Love ideas for their own sake. Some may lead to profit. And some will illuminate you.<br />
<br />
I get the feeling a lot of people now value any idea only because it could make them money.<br />
<br />
A treasured idea is no substitute for research, practice and persistence.<br />
<br />
Ideas can be powerful, but no single idea can be a silver bullet.<br />
<br />
Yes, you have ideas everyday. You look at the world through your own lense.<br />
<br />
Your most powerful idea is the one you have about yourself.<br />
<br />
1st: Choose a medium to learn. 2nd: Choose ideas to explore. 3rd: Care for the details. Your next project is the result of your whole life.<br />
<br />
Every artist needs a creating place. A studio, a spare room, a corner, or just a note book. Our ideas need to escape the mind-space.<br />
<br />
Confidence is believing in your own ideas.<br />
<br />
Two wrongs don't make a right, but two bad ideas can make a great ideas. <div><br />
It's good to be part of something bigger than yourself. Especially if it's your big idea.<br />
<br />
Allow your big idea to be bigger than you.<br />
<br />
Don't always know where ideas come from, or where they will take us. But as long as you love the process.<br />
<br />
Don't let your mind get in the way of a good idea.<br />
<br />
I must love inspiration. I don't mind if it keeps me up half the night.<br />
<br />
A good idea moves you forward. A bad idea stops you.<br />
<br />
People go nowhere because they don't go where their ideas want to take them.<br />
<br />
We run out of ideas because we don't give them time to reach the surface.<br />
<br />
Put legs on your ideas,...YOUR legs.<br />
<br />
Your big (scary) idea is really lots of small ideas.<br />
<br />
Our ideas are like our children. We hope they will grow up & change the world.<br />
<br />
Just because you find out that someone had the same idea before you. Doesn't mean you're not creative.<br />
<br />
I wonder what the world would be like if more people just followed their ideas.<br />
<br />
Some people have ideas that are beautifully executed. Some execute their ideas without trial.<br />
<br />
Ideas are like dreams & phone numbers. Write them down before they disappear.<br />
<br />
I committed my idea to memory. I committed a crime against creativity.<br />
<br />
I'm looking for my lost idea. It's in one of these 100 billion neurons. (Might take a while).<br />
<br />
I zoomed past a good idea today. Should have stopped for it. Looked in the mirror but it was gone.<br />
<br />
Never be complacent. Never say, "Why do I stand up for my ideas?"<br />
<br />
It worth fighting for a good idea.<br />
<br />
An idea is vulnerable until it's defended.<br />
<br />
You believe in your unseen ideas. Others need to touch & see it first.<br />
<br />
Everyday has it's own ideas. Many aren't expected & will never come again.<br />
<br />
Everyday is a unique alinement of your thoughts & tasks. Everyday will inspire different things in you.<br />
<br />
I've got the Stockholm Syndrome: An idea has taken me hostage & I'm sympathizing with it's cause.<br />
<br />
An idea has power over the originator, & gives the end user a power they didn't have before.<br />
<br />
A person can only be as confident as he is in his ideas.<br />
<br />
An ideal is the best combination of many ideas.<br />
<br />
Too many ideas for this year? November is the best time to plan next year.<br />
<br />
So many concepts new to me, fly past. Like leaves in the wind from the great tree of knowledge. Each leaf is just a passing thought. But when the leaves touch, they become thoughts combined.<br />
<br />
Ideas don't change the world. Plans change the world.<br />
<br />
An idea is just a seed of a great plan.<br />
------------<br />
Even if someone steals your idea, it still takes passion & planning to make it profitable. (Something they don't have).<br />
<br />
Don't worry about someone stealing an idea. A creative person has too many ideas already.<br />
<br />
Don't worry. People who steal ideas have already lost.<br />
------------<br />
Ever a brilliant idea needs to be presented in the right way, in the right place.<br />
<br />
Most people don't accept new ideas until they see others applauding.<br />
<br />
A good idea can look like bad news to the world; first there is denial, then fear, then acceptance.<br />
<br />
Even a great idea must sit on a shelf until the world realizes that they can't live without it anymore.<br />
<br />
I'm an entertainer....I'm entertaining the possibilities of a few ideas.<br />
<br />
The goal is to find what we seek. But it's the unexpected & interesting things we find, that makes the journey.<br />
<br />
I've been conducting some thought experiments. The results are rarely predicted but often interesting.<br />
<br />
Abundance is just more people prepared to love & share their ideas.<br />
<br />
If you don't capture ideas when they appear, they will take flight & disappear as quickly as they came.<br />
<br />
Life becomes too scary for a person without ideas & solutions.<br />
<br />
Work on the big idea in you, until it becomes something bigger than yourself.<br />
<br />
An interesting life is following interesting ideas.<br />
<br />
People choose to ignore inspiration, but not desperation.<br />
<br />
Many conceptual leaps began as leaps of faith.<br />
<br />
Individuals create original concepts. Groups work out the details, copy, scale & popularize.<br />
<br />
Ideas often meet for the first time in the minds of individuals.<br />
<br />
A valued idea contains a curtain promise; a hope we didn't have before.<br />
<br />
The more we value our own ideas, the more we value ourselves.<br />
<br />
An original idea works best if it creates it's own niche. A new category, a new definition.<br />
<br />
An idea can have value in itself, or in the challenge.</div>INeedToCreatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11475611246677860671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496698980826437192.post-69740504163496536732011-01-18T04:14:00.000-08:002011-01-18T04:17:01.572-08:00Having an audience (& a community)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Let the world see the love in what you do, and they'll love it too. Be known for what you do. It's not who you know, but who knows you.<br />
<br />
A crowd becomes your community when you know your purpose in it.<br />
<br />
There are those that follow a crowd. And those that serve a community.<br />
<br />
The artist see's the worts, the audience see's the beauty.<br />
<br />
If your audience doesn't know what fires you up, you will leave them cold. Create from what you believe, what disturbs you, what you care about. That is what people respond to.<br />
<br />
The only time an artist should re-create something is to re-create what is in him, into the audience.<br />
<br />
On your creative journey, you travel through the hearts of your audience.<br />
<br />
If every story is a journey. Then the art is to know were your audience is now. And then to take them to a place you want them to go.<br />
<br />
Begin by trusting yourself. Then gain the trust of the 1 important person in your life. Then your future audience.<br />
<br />
Musicians that sing about Fire, remember being burned. It still ignites their music.<br />
<br />
A critic is someone who has just been introduced to the future.</span></span>INeedToCreatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11475611246677860671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496698980826437192.post-4235602724768539862011-01-18T04:11:00.000-08:002011-01-18T04:11:25.953-08:00Finding your niche & vocation<div style="color: #050000; font: 16.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm thinking of becoming a Polymathic Specialist.</span></div><div style="color: #050000; font: 14.0px Myriad MM; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
