re: creative process

Hey friend, 

As we grew into what we are now, we were all taught a particular process of creation.

This was either intentionally taught (unlikely) or like most things, we picked it up by default from the world we found ourselves in as became conscious during childhood and beyond.

And how we were taught how to create, determines what were are about to create and the degree to how those things are brought to completion. 

Most of us run this creation process unconsciously, sometimes with minor improvements, for the rest of our lives. 

Our default creative process is typically based on:

• finding comfort

• avoiding pain

• fear (into-fearing)

• scarcity and lack

• a strong desire for certainty

• an infatuation with the wisdom and brilliance of others, and a denial of our own

• a need for authorities to tell us what do to.

This process is how we create anything in our lives. Whether we realise or not (we never realise).

From the physical state of our health. 

To the relationships to anything external.

Businesses, projects, creative pursuits 

The homes we build

So its worth addressing.

Up until recently my creative process was…

• Reactive

• Rushed 

• Led by fear and a need to prove something to an audience in my mind

Now this program was strong. And was productive to a certain degree. It caused me to take a lot of action, to have courage and by the default of those things- I was able to create some great things. 7 figure businesses, an international life of travel, some cool projects, time & financial independence. 

But I realised that if I wanted to create something great, truly great, something some might call eternal… it would require a new creative process. 

That I would need to create a new relationship to time. To business, to projects… pretty much to everything in my life, if I wanted to move forward and create in a more significant way. 

This is a great focus on my attention currently. Ill be sharing more on it.
