I love encouraging others!

Since I love encouraging others so much, I’m sharing Creativity Memes for this year’s A to Z Blog Challenge. The quotes are from all over, but I took each photo with my iPhone. Here’s today’s featured letter:

U is for Unlimited

“You can’t use up creativity. the more you use, the more you have.” – Maya Angelou

Do you ever hold back during a project because you’re worried you’ll use up all your creativity? I’ve caught myself thinking like this from time to time.

I chose this quote from Maya Angelou because she never backed away from living a creative life. She didn’t hit a certain goal or age or other stopping point and quit creating. I admire that! Plus, as Ms Angelou says, I have noticed that the act of creating is what gives me fresh ideas.

How about you? Do you ever hold back during a creative project? Do you ever fear that you’ll run out of ideas?

I’ve gone from turning up my nose at the idea of cell phone pictures, to being an avid iPhone photographer. I even had my first gallery show last summer!

T is for Today’s the Only Day

“The future starts today, not tomorrow.” – Anonymous

Today’s the only day you’ve ever got to do anything! So be careful with it. Yes, of course, there are obligations and boring details and responsibilities you must attend to. But the biggest responsibility you have each and every day is creating your future!

What about you? Do you ever get so distracted by daily responsibilities that you forget about the future you wish to create?

S is for Silly Dreams

“If anyone tells you your dreams are silly, remember there’s a millionaire walking around out there who invented the pool noodle!” – Anonymous

Are there people in your life who think you are ridiculous for chasing your creative dreams? Perhaps they enjoy telling you stories about people who lost everything, or people who failed. Or maybe they simply roll their eyes at you and say, “Grow up!”

Well, if you’re having fun and keeping up with all your responsibilities, then shrug those people off. Tell them to go Google search terms such as “the importance of play for adults” and “why adults need recess, too.

And while they are busy reading those articles, you can go off and be as silly as you want!

What about you? Do you make time to play? Do you allow yourself to be silly during your creative projects? Do you ever catch yourself being overly serious about your creative projects?

Q is for Quit Waiting

“If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.” – Lemony Snicket

My husband often calls me Planny Plannerton because I love to be prepared. Yes, I’m the type of person who actually enjoys researching, practicing, plotting and planning and even just thinking about the fun stuff we can do. As you may have guessed, I make a lot of to-do lists.

I’ve even been known to make lists of my lists!

While practicing, learning, plotting and planning are all important aspects to the creative process, at some point you have to dive in and start doing! As Lemony Snicket reminds us in today’s quote, if you wait until you’re ready, you will never get anywhere!

What about you? Do you ever let your planning phase become a source of procrastination?

P is for Plot Twists in Your Own Life

I’ve had quite a few plot twists in my own life lately, have you? Plot twists aren’t always bad things, they’re just surprising bumps in the road. For someone like me, who likes to plan out her creative projects, these unexpected challenges can be frustrating.

There’s a silver lining, though, because these plot twists remind me to focus on what’s most important in life and to let everything else drift away! I’m not saying it’s easy. My inner control freak doesn’t like it, that’s for sure. But… I am slowly getting better at the idea of surrendering to the unexpected in life and rolling with it. How about you?
