I love feeling inspired. I love and crave that creative flow that happens, sometimes. Why isn't it ever enough. My guitar is sitting there within arms reach and I don't touch it. I have writing programs in my computer I have ideas for scripts a lot. Don't do that either. I am in the grips of a little voice, or a BIG voice that is choking my creativity. This blog was to keep a safe place to create on my mind. And it is doing just that. It is on my mind that I don't create much. I don't have the motivation. What is to motivate me?
I think many creative people don't have that part of them that sets the goals, or deadlines unless they are forced to. I am that way. I love deadlines, because I will get it done because I don't want to look like a loser.
That is another thing, looking good. I want everyone to think I am on this mission of creating everyday and boy, oh, boy aren't I the cool one. WRONG!! I have to fight with the voices in my head everyday. Then I feel sorry for myself. Why was I born with this monkey on my back.
Wow! I sound like I need to go to a mental institution. I do have a brain dis-ease that is for sure.
What I am going to do to challenge myself today is write 10 things that I have done in the past year. Things that are creative and things that I generated. Yes, I am a generator. You are a generator. I will generated positive energy to share with the world today. I will generated an outlook that is strong and powerful. I will stand in the knowing I am a child of nature and it is my birth right to feel good, to create, to expand and to love myself, even with these human traits that I can not accept. I accept them. Take the Challenge, write 10 things you generated on your own last year. It could be a birthday party, a great meal, a new garden, go for it!!!

Creating is natural, it is how plants grow, how we invent anything, how we decide what to wear in the morning, what to eat all day. Being so natural how do we get so lost or so caught up in not seeing what is around us? The house, the yard, the trees, the lake, the animals in the area, the interesting people and colors that are eyes don't even see. Like yesterdays blog we get caught up in the chatter in our head.
It is like not being able to solve a problem or find something one day, and then as soon as you wake up you know the answer to the problem or you remember right where you put something and why you put it there. Is it because you aren't up with the chatter that getting up and getting ready for the day fills you with.
This is almost like the not seeing things in the moment.
So how could you have room to create, whether it be writing, painting, dancing or learning a script.
I have a challenge for you. Take 15 minutes during the day and make sure there is no TV, no phones, or even radio. What do you hear? see? feel? Does it make you uncomfortable to not have things going on. Walk around your house and look what you have filled your house with. If you still have time walk outside and look at everything like you have never seen it before.
Just take notice if your place is cluttered more that you thought? Do you have a sacred place to create? Tell me how this goes? I'm going to do it.
