Reality is malleable. The world would have you believe that creativity is an indulgence. That instead, you should follow a more “practical” enough to invest your time and resources in. But these beliefs were invented by people trying to organize the world the way they saw it, not how it really was. “No Artist Tolerates Reality” Friedrich Nietzsche expressed a novel observation: "No artist tolerates reality."

It wasn't until years later during a "polar bear challenge" on New Years, that I ran into the...

Reading, listening to podcasts, and attending conferences are a few typical options, but there is no one-size fits-all solution. Listen to the Podcast In Creating Calling, I developed a simple image to help understand the relationship between mindset, habits and goals. I call it the creative pyramid.
