You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it. ~Neil Gaiman
I have so many ideas that I don't know what to do with them. I have ideas for businesses, books, paintings, work that I want to do at the house. Ideas for events to bring joy to people in the community. I come up with ideas in my sleep...dreaming of ways of making things better: more fun, more beautiful, more interesting and more exciting. What does it matter that I have them if I don't start putting them into action? I want to put these into action, I want to watch them grow and succeed into something more than just a simple passing thought.
Sometimes, I just don't know how.
Sometime the want to is more than the how.
...yea...and none of this made sense.
Made a LOT of sense to me! I don't have the creative drive that you do, so I really appreciate it when it see it in other people. I feel the same way about helping others, that's where my soft spot is. But how? How do I find the time and energy and resource to really help other people change their lives or find what they need? And for me, it is often really hard to see the help and change you put into others, so there isn't always much visible return on the investment.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone is creative...people just show it in different ways. You do help people. You listen and encourage, providing insight to another angle for them to consider, you analyze those options when making your own decision. I wish I could be more like that sometimes, it's all gut reaction for me most of the time...not really logical (to most people's thinking)...
ReplyDeleteWill it let me post?
