“The crazy creatives are the creatives who never go completely mad. They aren't so easily disheartened by the seemingly endless amounts of scrutiny that creative individuals tend to receive because they, like insanity, are the ones who feed off of opposition and negative feedback and manage to continue along with a healthy ambition. It is the crazy that teaches us to use our gifts wisely and own all the attackers.” UseIndividualTeachCreativeCrazyAmountHealthyAmbitionNegativeMadEndlessManageInsanityOppositionFeedbackScrutinyDisheartenedNegative Feedback Author:Criss Jami
“Knowing how you actually want to feel is the most potent form of clarity that you can have. Generating those feelings is the most powerfully creative thing you can do with your life. And not only do we have to put our feelings at the heart of our ambitions, we have to pursue our desires in a way that is life-affirming, rather than soul-depleting. Rigid goal-chasing is burning us out. Soul-anchored intentions are the way to get home.” WayWantFeelsHeartSoulFeelingsHomeFormDesireGoalCan DoCreativeKnowingAmbitionIntentionPursueClarityBurningMost PowerfulChasingAffirmingLife Affirming Author:Danielle LaPorte

“It is a psychological law that whatever we desire to accomplish we must impress upon the subjective or subconscious mind; that is, we must register a vow with ourselves, we must make our resolution with vigor, with faith that we can do the thing we want to do; we must register our conviction with such intensity that the great creative forces within us will tend to realize them. Our impressions will become expressions just in proportion to the vigor with which we register our vows to accomplish our ambitions, to make our visions realities.” WantMindRealityLawDesireForceCan DoRealizingVisionCreativeExpressionAmbitionConvictionAccomplishImpressionPsychologicalProportionResolutionIntensityImpressSubconsciousSubjectiveVowRegisterVigorSubconscious Mind Author:Orison S.

“Freedom is necessary for two reasons. It's necessary for the individual, because the individual, no matter how good the society is, every individual has hopes, fears, ambitions, creative urges, that transcend the purposes of his society. Therefore we have a long history of freedom, where people try to extricate themselves from tyranny for the sake of art, for the sake of science, for the sake of religion, for the sake of the conscience of the individual - this freedom is necessary for the individual.” PeopleTryingLongArtTwoMatterReasonPurposeIndividualCreativeAmbitionConscienceSakeTyrannyUrgesHaving Hope Author:Reinhold Niebuhr
