Creators Obey Their Inner Voice To Create
Sometimes inspiration only knocks once.
I have had at least a million inklings, twinklings and sprinklings of inspiration throughout my life, and I have only acted on a handful of them.
That’s not a very good track record for someone who wants to be a powerful creator I know, but recognition is at least a step in the right direction.
Here are a few ideas for you when you get that little voice inside you telling you to reach, or stretch or to move in a certain direction.
- Write it down, tape it, photograph it, draw it – record it somehow. Immediacy is sometimes required. You only have a few seconds before it is gone forever, so I suggest you get in the habit of recording your inspirations somehow.
- Share it. Tell a friend. Announce it to the world. Letting someone else know what you are thinking solidifies it in your own mind.
- Teach it. Kind of like sharing it but taking it a step further. Teaching something to someone else always solidifies it in your own mind even further.
- Do It Now! Don’t hesitate. Act now. Just get busy. The faster you act the more likely that inspiration will strike again.
- Obey. Too often we rationalize that the inspiration was just a fluke, that it’s not that important, that it really doesn’t matter, or that it’s OK to brush it off. When you get an itch – scratch it. Don’t let it go without giving it your attention.
There are probably another 50 things that you could add to this list. We each vary in our approach to the inklings of our hearts.
Know this: powerful creators consistently obey their intuitions, inspirations, and muses. They rely on them to create amazing creations.
