Ignite The Fire

To be creative, we have let our brains loose. The mind needs rest and time every day to daydream, imagine and get intentionally bored. Letting our minds free is an incredibly important cognitive exercise.

Take the time to expose yourself in diverse subjects, things that inspire you and dissolve boundaries can foster creativity. Identify and let go of wrong beliefs and outdated stories you tell yourself every day.

Why Ego is The Greatest Opponent to Your Creativity and Success (And How to Fight Back)

Why Ego is The Greatest Opponent to Your Creativity and Success (And How to Fight Back)

We all have goals: We want to matter. We want to be important. We want to have freedom and power to pursue our creative work. We want respect from our peers and recognition for our accomplishments. Not out of vanity or selfishness, but of an earnest desire to fulfill our personal potential.

One does not need to be an egotistical maniac to be successful. 

This is one of the most misleading and destructive myths in all of Western culture.
