5 Insights for the Creative Journey

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

Estimate the cost.

We envision the destination, the results. But rarely consider the day to day actions to get there.

Think of a typical day in the life of someone who accomplishes your goal. Multiply it by 100, and ask yourself are you willing to do that day 100 more times?

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

Be careful using your taste for comparison.

There may be a gap between what you like and what you’re able to create.

Use your taste as a guide, but understand it might be some time before you create at that level.

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

Dream big, but make peace with the nightmares.

It’s easy to envision everything going right. Then we’re let down when we meet failure.

At the start, make peace with the idea that the plan could go wrong, and you will have the tools to pick up and try again.

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

Start with where you are & what you have.

While you’re waiting for the ideal circumstances, resources, and tools, someone else is out there doing more with less.

Begin today. Make upgrades over time.

The degree to which you are an optimist is the degree to which you create your own heaven and contribute to doing the same for others.

The degree to which you are a pessimist is the degree to which you create your own hell and contribute to doing the same for others.

We’re here ready to congratulate you, to celebrate you.

We want to see you embrace yourself.

We want to see you INVEST in yourself.

We want to see the results of those promises you kept to yourself.

@therosegold Be safe though! 😂

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

"I always wanted to do X but I cant because Im just not good at X"

No. Thats EXACTLY why you need to do it

The issue isnt that you cant become great over time; its that you cant accept yourself for being "bad" at something

Ego will end the journey before you take the 1st step

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

@therosegold That’s hilarious. Same for me. I’m terrible at it, but it’s one of my favorite things to do when I have the chance.

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

You don’t have to keep your best self a secret anymore.

Loving yourself doesn’t make you selfish.

Recognizing you have talents/gifts doesn’t make you arrogant.

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

The master bows in all temples and respects wisdom wherever it’s found.

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

Many of us give up on spiritual development because of our early experiences with religion.

We completely discredit what we cannot prove with scientific process and thus distance ourselves from what could be a beneficial set of knowledge and practices.

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

Religions, like anything else, are corruptible, and much depends on the school/teacher. Some of us have experienced this and stepped away. Many of us have also returned to individual practices and are engaging in “MRR”, Mixed Religious Research.

As the elders of this emerging culture, we have a responsibility to make sure we know and inject as many ideas promoting peace & love into this growing connected reality.

It’s not enough to feed the next generations endless entertainment. We are the media now.

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

In this internet culture, we have access to a larger portion of the collective consciousness

The rapid spread of information online means many of us internalize ideas and imagery faster and in larger numbers-more than ever before

Culture is becoming more fast paced & “sticky”

[Elijah A. @_StrongCreative]

Imagine HOW LONG it would have taken for Mozart’s new single to go viral in the 1700s or for phrases like “no cap” to become common language.

These current generations are the first to grow up in the largest, most interconnected culture in human history- the internet.
