Writers block doesn’t just affect writers. We all have moments when we feel stuck or empty with our creative endeavors and our goals. But writer’s block is just a temporary emptiness that requires new fuel. Instead of excusing or resisting it, we need to fill ourselves back up with new inspiration and creativity.
People often wonder how they can get better and how to get more courage to do what they want to do. It takes work. Everything meaningful to be accomplished takes a lot of work and that work often occurs during our unseen hours. These are the many hours of study and preparation that get us to be better. And as we get better, we also become more courageous to try more.
Distractions are everywhere and easy to blame when we don’t get our stuff done. But is it really the abundance of distractions that keep us from achieving what we set out to do? In this episode I will talk about 2 fundamental issue that keep us in a state of distraction.

A quote from Magic Realism and nature have inspired me to reconsider our structured notion of time – past, present and future. What is time is more fluid?

Time ticks by every second, but its also available to us right this second to make the best of it.
I am fascinated by a few lines of a song that starts with these line:
Oh, to live is to fly,
Both low and high
The ups and downs of life are part of life. We can fight against them, ignore them, worry about them OR we can fly with them. Low and high. Accept them and make them work in our favor.
Rather than trying to be right, how about we assume we are wrong?

Assuming we are wrong prompts questions and can change the course of our relationships with others.
Our inner critic both drives us and hols us back. In well-defined environments, our inner critic lets us push forward relentlessly. But when there is risk involved, a chance that things may not work out, the inner critic likes to talk us out of it. We need to let the critic speak, so we become aware of it. But he or she should not have the final say.
A great quote by Machiavelli inspires us to think about the mistakes we are making. Are we making errors because we underestimated a risk or because we didn’t take responsibility? Mistakes of ambition are teaching moments, while mistakes of laziness never take us beyond our comfort zone.
We are obsessed with productivity these days. And not only at work anymore. We also want to maximize our free time so we can accomplish all the goals we set for ourselves.
