Art and Creativity: On Motivation and Determination
Creative endeavors are interesting things!
We seem to be motivated to do things in a burst of activity and creativity, and then — perhaps carried by our enthusiasm — we make bargains with ourselves to "keep doing that!"
These are often promises that are easier to make than to keep.
Creativity doesn't happen on a schedule, and that's when it can become really challenging.
Where does the motivation come from? You could even consider something as simple as a Steemit blog. Where does the motivation to keep posting every day come from?
Success is sometimes more a matter of determination than it is brilliance or creativity.
It may not be enough (by itself) but the simple act of just showing up every day can carry you a very long way!
Back when we had an actual retail store and this wasn't just a "legacy blog," there was a lot more determination to show up every day.
But I still show up here, sometimes. It's not as often as I once did... but I do feel motivated to not let this page die out...
Thanks for stopping by!
