The number one expert in your life

When we're faced with a problem or issue we don't think we can handle or think is beyond us, often the obvious thing to do is call an expert.

Whether it's to fix a broken stereo or a broken arm, we seek the advice and treatment of the appropriate professional.

But what about when it comes to our lives, and more importantly, the role that creativity plays in our lives?

Ultimately, there is only one person who has been with you through good and bad, joy and sorrow, elation and despair. Only one person who knows what you love and what you loathe. Only one person who knows what inspires and excites you and what demotivates and depresses you.

That person is YOU.

So when it comes to knowing what is best for your creativity, only you know what works for you and what doesn't. The final choice rests with you.

Of course this doesn't mean we all have the answers to everything already, and available in an instant. But we have the resources to be able to seek out those answers.

And it doesn't mean just because you suddenly want to be a painter then instantly you'll become a great painter. But if that's what you truly want, you will find the resources, the people, the books, the courses, the materials, the energy and the commitment needed to be the best painter you can possibly be.

This may seem a daunting idea at first. But it's what is at the core of our ultimate creative freedom.

The sooner we realise that we are the number expert in our lives, the sooner we can get on with drawing upon that expertise and creating whatever we want...
