I am sitting here thinking why cant I come up with a creative and new solution to a problem that I see everyday. This should be easy for me after all I am a designer. I want to come up with something so creative and wonderful but I am getting nothing. Wondering how this can be happening to me, I stopped trying to push it and let it come naturally. By doing this I remembered something that I had learned long ago.
I can not come up with a positive solution while holding on to bunch of negative crap. The more I held on to the stuff that was bugging me, the harder it was to create. Sitting here with my self I realized that anyone can be creative and find unique solutions if they let go and open up to the possibilities. To create we must let go of our ideas and preconceived notions. How many times have we stumbled with a problem and a friend comes along with fresh eyes and like magic finds our solution. It's not that our friend is so smart, they just don't have any preconceived ideas about it. To them it is a blank canvas and it can become anything.
We all try so hard to force a solution and sometimes the answer is right under our noses. We were looking so hard that we couldn't find it. I challenge all of you to take that problem area of your yard, house or life and let go of it. See if the answer doesn't come to you when you least expect it. To be the most creative we have to let our minds open to new ideas and try them out. Stop being afraid and just do it. There is no right or wrong when you are creating. Everything is an expression of you and everyone has the ability to create something beautiful. Now lets all go make something fabulous!
