“Procrastination is the thief of time.”—Edward Young
CREATE
As creators, we tend to focus on the ideas we come up with rather than the work we produce. Yet, it is only through the act of creating that we receive recognition and praise. Unfortunately, it’s easy to get caught up in the planning and analyzing phase, never taking the necessary action to bring their ideas to fruition.
There are countless cases of artists who paint for years without showing their artwork, singers who never release their music, and writers who never publish their books. The critical difference between these individuals and the most successful creators is their willingness to take action. That’s how ideas come to life. Successful creators prefer to improve their creativity by adapting to challenges along their creative process rather than over-planning.
You can’t predict every potential pitfall. Get started and use the act of creation to overcome challenges and refine your ideas. Embrace the power of action.
