I posted this on Ladies Who Launch a few days ago. It certainly fits in with my posts on this blog, so I decided to post it here too.
It's time to get real. Living a creative life means accepting a whole different way of thinking and being. People may not understand it or approve of it. That comes with the territory. On with the post...
As a creative person I'm capable of doing many things and doing them well. Not only am I writer but I'm also a coach, a photographer, a computer programmer - I could add more but you get the idea. I've changed careers a few times and am in the process of changing my business as well. Change is the word.
When I speak to creative people they're often apologizing for what they perceive is a lack of commitment. Perhaps they've changed direction several times or have started projects then stopped them before completion. They've been made to feel that change is bad and someone who makes a lot of changes must be indecisive, non-committal or just plain irresponsible.
Newsflash - change is good. It's just that some people handle it better than others. For some people, lack of change equals security. They want the same experience over and over.That's fine...for them. However, the creative person is inspired by ideas and new experiences.There's no need to apologize for that. It's what separates the entrepreneurs from everyone else.
