color outside of the lines please

While I”ve been a maker my entire life, it was not until I began teaching creativity that I began to understand it. And it was not until I studied my own creative process that I was set free to truly create.

 

in school we learn how not to be creative, we get in trouble for daydreaming and doodling, and we’re always searching for the right answer, with little room for error.

 

you’re rewarded if you color inside the lines, follow the directions, and are neat and tidy.

 

These messages make it difficult to be a creative adult, as in-order to do so , you must have such a strong desire to create that you are willing to go against the system, you are willing to get it wrong, to make mistakes, and to color like you don’t even know that the lines are there.

 

To be creative you must be willing to:

challenge the system

get the answer wrong

ignore the lines

The fact that you aren’t creating has nothing to do with your talent or your time, it has everything to do with your fear.

 

You’re afraid of failure, that you aren’t good enough, that it won’t work, that someone will laugh, that people won’t get it.

You also aren’t creating because it’s always at the bottom of your to do list, which means that it’s always getting bumped by other things. This needs to stop.

You’re here because you want to live a more creative life, so let’s first determine what a creative life is. What does it feel like, what does it look like.
