I believe sometimes we aren't always in charge of everything that we do creatively. We submit to things as we're going on our own journey.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When anyone starts out to do something creative - especially if it seems a little unusual - they seek approval, often from those least inclined to give it. But a creative life cannot be sustained by approval, any more than it can be destroyed by criticism - you learn this as you go on.
As creative people, we should be really conscious of being of service in our work, being as generous as we can.
Sometimes we have to take on jobs that we don't love, and I always encourage any creative person to use those as the fuel to do the things that you do love to do, even if they don't pay.
After so many years, I've learned that being creative is a full-time job with its own daily patterns. That's why writers, for example, like to establish routines for themselves.
At this point, because we have stayed the same course for so many years, I feel like we are freer to make choices that are motivated by what feels right creatively at a given point in time.
It's really important to find a humble approach to your own creative work, your own business work. To recognize that you can't do everything yourself.
I think my best work is when I'm kind of in charge.
We can always find creative ways to do things.
We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.
Responsibility is what awaits outside the Eden of Creativity.
