Too busy to create or too fearful of being rejected? No one likes when others reject what we made. Everything we create comes from a personal experience with the work created. This is the reason why so many of us lose more time than we should with details while...
Who doesn’t like bright moments? Moments when everything becomes clear. Moments of innovative and unexpected ideas. Moments you said the right word at the right time to the right person. Yet, some moments are so bright, you recognize the light, but something is...
I don’t know about you, but most people I know complain about not having time. They want to write but don’t have time. They would like to paint but don’t have time. They would like to go out and have fun but don’t have time. The words ”I don’t have time” seem to give...
