Ideas are like seeds. Some grow and some don’t. Some become hearty, powerful trees and some barely survive or don’t survive at all. Treat ideas like treasures, because you never know which ones are the trees and which ones are the compost.
There are some guidelines for your ideas. First, don’t judge them. Develop a powerful confident base that brings you strength. When you start writing down ideas some may seem weird, strange, or not at all like you. This will change in time as you discover your artistic self.
Ideas come in many shapes and forms. Sometimes they are images, sometimes they are words, and sometimes they are feelings. They are all valid ideas. Most ideas are snippets, not fully realized or finished products. They wouldn’t be ideas if they were. Often, you will receive an idea that tempts you to try something new. These are good ideas! Don’t let them go to waste.
What prevents you from acting upon your idea? Fear and its many permutations. We’ll talk about how to battle fear in the next blog.
