[Creativity] Follow Your Flow.

Conditioning about time traps most people's most creative moments.

Meaning most people think creativity works on a 9-5 clock. 

Life is a continuum and as such, there is no real beginning or end, save our birth or death, there is simply growth and decay.

Now in your moments of truly great work you are growing and moving your life forward.

You only need a few of these moments each week to build a beautiful existence.

The moments you miss, or can't be bothered to do the work, or even scared of taking action - you stagnate, decay your life and go backward.

Such fleeting moments of inspiration evade you never to see the light of day again.

Your ideas come to you for a reason and those heightened moments where you "just have to do the work" come in the moment's you least suspect.

When they are ready.

When you are ready.

At this intersection - beauty is given life.

I have had moments where I have been suddenly woken up with a flash of an idea and I just HAD to act. 

Well, the word "had" is strong.

I made myself do it, no matter how tempting and delicious my warm bed was, I knew better.

I learned this because I have said to myself on SO many occasions "I will write that tomorrow" or "I will remember that later."

What do you think happened?

I totally forgot and was very annoyed at myself because I could not remember when later arrived. 

I am sure you can relate. 

You've got to follow your flow regardless of the time or even where you are.

Get our your note book, scrap paper, write on a receipt, dictate on your mobile recording app, leave yourself a voice mail...don't miss the opportunity.

As Earl Nightingale said, "ideas are like a slippery fish, you've got to gaff them with the point of a pen or lose them forever."
