More why, Less how

The details involving how we will receive our influx of abundance are less important than why we do what we do. There are infinite ways to generate revenue, especially in this age of instant information. So why did you land on music rather than a trucking company. Why did you choose being a personal trainer rather than a lawyer. Virtually all of the magic that separates you from everyone else is in the "why". Digging down into that question could reveal the next level of strategy and marketing, it could be the key your next decision about branding or scaling...

A delicate balance

"No line is thinner than the one between too much ego, and not enough"  When it comes to self assessment I usually ebb and flow between feeling like I'm not good enough to present my self/work to the world, and being euphoric about the success and acceptance that I will soon find myself immersed in.

It’s truly all we have, the continuum of now. Way too often we allow ourselves to be distracted by these figments. Our complex brains can send us signals that make past trauma and embarrassment feel brand new, we also create feelings of stress and anxiety when imagining the responsibilities of tomorrow.

The clay has no expectations

As we move forward through our experience, a lesson that continues to reveal itself is "The clay has no expectations". As artists, makers and creators, we are often our own worst critics. We take in rules and opinions about the craft and tie ourselves to them. These tethers often become the blockages that impede our creativity. I'm personally working to remember that art only requires our engagement, everything else is added by the observer. Paint will never make a judgement about color theory, It has no preferences about whether the final product will be impressionism or surrealism.  When I began to...
