Hello Carol,

While you are on a roll with self improvement, try this one on for size if it sounds interesting to you:

You have not lost something that hasn’t happened yet.

Your creativity will continue to give you maximum results as long as you continue to allow it to flourish.

Wondering, or dare I say, even worrying a bit about what could be, may be stealing some juice from the creativity that grows in everyday living.

A creative person, a person who nourishes and feeds creativity can learn to see even greater creativity when, “what is,” is accepted as the best that was able to happen.

My personal belief is that people always do the best they can.
A simple logic that helps me understand that is, “if we could do better, we would, why wouldn’t we?”

Being capable of more or better than what is actually produced has nothing to do with the fact that we always do our best.

Under the circumstances surrounding every event, is the motivation for the level of performance.

Example: Someone could be the best tennis player in the world, but if their personal life is running havoc, the circumstances will determine how well the tennis game will be, regardless of the talent or the capability. I tell people if you want to get the best performance or accomplishments from someone, the motivation is in the surrounding circumstances.

What does motivation sound like?
Do it for your mom.
If you do a great job, you can have the weekend off.
If you can keep your temper under control, your spouse may not leave you.
If you work hard, you will make lots of mula.

By changing the circumstances, it affects the outcome.

Focusing on what could have been, affects the outcome of present creativity, and present or continued high level of creativity is what you want when you do find the time for new projects.

Keep the level of creativity high as you go down the list of your priorities, so that you get the biggest bang for your buck.

You are not missing our on anything, you are giving your all, all the time and that produces the best there is.

What do you think?

Enjoy,
Steve
