It’s a lie.
It’s a lie we’ve been told ever since our teachers took away the crayons. The lie that says it not time to play, it’s time to work. It’s not time to make something new, it’s time to do what you’re told. It’s all a lie.
It IS time to make something new… on purpose. It’s time to play. It’s time flip the switch and start thinking about your creativity as a tool that can be mended… or broken. It’s time to put you in the driver’s seat and let you take the wheel. Where you go though, will be different from where I go. Your destination doesn’t look like mine and vice versa. But we’re both going into uncharted territory. We’re both going to the wilderness.
Find your wilderness. And get lost.
Challenge:
Just for one day this week, intentionally don’t look at another person’s work. If you’re a photographer, don’t look at single image that’s not yours. Take this time to make something on purpose. Because purpose is funny, once you start to use it, purpose brings unexpected insights. Intentionality breeds creative accidents.
