A challenge many creative people face is being honest enough to recognize when there are flaws or issues holding back their work from it's full potential of success. This discussion talks about ways to be more honest in our assessments of our work and help improve our perceptions through the creative process. Enjoy!
Are You Honest About Your Art?
1. Talk With Yourself: Our inner dialogue can reveal unwelcomed truths.
2. Pulling Weeds: Our creativity is our garden to maintain.
3. Embrace Your Role: Committing to our creativity to reach our goals.
4. Time Keeps on Ticking: Doubt, fear, and regret take time away from us.
5. Stick with What You Know: Build on skills we know and want to develop.
6. Good Times, Bad Times: The weight of success can equal the weight of failure.
7. Breaking the Chains: Comfort and security are chains that tether us to our routines.
8. Looking Beyond the Mirror: Seeing the larger picture and not just our own face.
9. Shape Up or Ship Out: Excuses hold us back, plain and simple.
10. Honesty is Not Always the Best Policy: Being too honest can be a detriment to creative growth.
