Part 3 of a 3 part series: Living Creative Results
Part 1 of this series helped you get started - discovering that you do have a creative side and how to access it. Part 2 focused on dealing with the gremlins. You know - the self-limiting beliefs that invade your mind. Now it's time to focus on what's ahead.
What are your creative goals? What do you dream about? How will you share your creative genius? You've accessed your creative energy, beat the challenges and now what do you do? Bask in the creative genius you have uncovered, engaged and is fruitful.
Here are the remaining 4 secrets designed to support you in living your creative results.
Secret #1: Making the Hurdles. When you decide to put your creative genius "out there," be prepared for rejection. However, these rejections are like hurdles. You start running and jump one hurdle at a time - never looking back. Better yet, be proactive. Identify and overcome your hurdles before they appear on the track.
Secret #2: Creative Supports. The first support for any creative process is gratitude. Be grateful for your talent, your ambition, your genius and your perseverance. Next, welcome prosperity. Prosperity is when you are living your life on your terms - according to what matters to you. Don't confuse prosperity with money or material things.
As my mother always said, "You can't take it with you!" Think about the things you value most in your life; relationships, God, friends, generosity, and the list goes on. In fact, make a list to see what prosperity exists in your life.
You posses the power to influence your prosperity.
Secret #3: Relationship to the Creative Process. Love your creative work. Be an active participant in the creative process. Get rid of everything that distracts or sidelines your creative genius. You know what that is - chasing others' goals, not listening to your "inner fluency," blaming, refusing to forgive and self-pity just to name a few. Don't wait for your creative process to happen - make it happen.
Secret #4: Creative Influence. What good are you using your creative genius for? How is it working for you and others? Think about the impact at various levels of your contribution. What message are you sending? What story needs to be told? When you share your work, you develop another perspective, increased commitment, and deeper connection to your audience.
