Diehard Creativity: What Does It Take?

Photo by Fahadee

In my own pursuit of creative goals, I’ve realized (sometimes the hard way) that things don’t always go the way you hope them to.  However, it isn’t necessary to understand the “whys” and “hows” of every vision or effort before stepping into a process of getting them done.  I do believe that focus and determination rule in the creative arena, though.  You have to keep going toward your dreams…no matter what gets in your way.  This week I’m being greatly challenged in my physical body to even get anything typed out or on paper.  But, you know what?  I’m doing it anyway.  Because I love what I do and I can’t hold in my thoughts because my body doesn’t want to cooperate.

I’m afraid that so many people suffer more from squelched creative dreams than they do from the ailments that keep them from realizing those dreams.  It hurts to see yourself as unproductive and even limited by illness, lack, shyness, or whatever may be holding you back.  In my case, it’s pain, and now, a possible diagnosis of MS that I did not see coming.  That’s OK, I’m kicking it in the gut!  At least I might get this one post out.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m here for you gals.  I’m not going anywhere.  If you are a client, don’t think you are bothering me.  You’re not.  I need to be productive right now as I fight my own physical battles.  My dear readers, please comment more often…give me some feedback on how I can serve you more efficiently and with greater value.

Keep Creating Tips:

  • Don’t focus on what you don’t want
  • Focus on what you DO want
  • Celebrate you accomplishments
  • Ask for help when you need it
  • Give yourself the opportunity to adapt to life-change
  • You are worth any effort it takes to push through challenges
  • Take baby steps to reach your goals…you’ll make it

Press on to your dreams and creative masterpieces.  The world needs what you have to give!  I love you all.

Peace,

About Kellie R. Stone

I believe that every woman has passions and dreams, waiting to be unlocked. With encouragement and support, they could grow into something tangible no matter how out there they seem to be. For me, one of those heart-fluttering passions has always been writing. Since I did, indeed, cultivate my dream of being a writer, I've written and/or edited 15+ years worth of articles here or on other blogs, published two non-fiction books in the self-development genre, co-authored an international best seller, and am working on a poetry anthology and another women's inner journey book. I adore showing others how to live life unfiltered, whether I do it through the written word or other vibrant means. Kellie R. Stone
