Motivation to create is often a struggle. Though I try to write this each day, I have bigger things to create and often it is a huge struggle to get started. Or perhaps the fear of being challenged. Or even succeeding. The quote below helped me keep going… so, thank you, Seth! No one can say it better than you do.
Are you doing what you said you wanted to do?
But I keep drawing from my reservoir of motivation from others who influence and inspire me.
If you want to be a poet, write poetry. Every day. Show us your work.
If you want to do improv, start a troupe. Don’t wait to get picked.
If you want to help animals, don’t wait for vet school. Volunteer at an animal shelter right now.
If you want to write a screenplay, write a screenplay.
If you want to do marketing, find a good cause and spread the idea. Don’t ask first.
If you’d like to be more strategic or human or caring at your job, don’t wait for the boss to ask.
Once we leave out the “and” (as in, I want to do this and be well paid, invited, approved of, and always successful) then it’s way easier to do what we said we wanted to do.
