Being creative is not a luxury or a gift, it’s a necessity. Creativity does not ‘choose’ people as vessels. It is a choice to be creative.
I’ve never believed the crap that creativity floats around in nano-particles that then find their way into only some of us who are by birth right lucky enough to have been permitted to claim their creative juju through magical infusion and wondrous mysticism.
That’s just another pile of BS being pushed to dupe you into accepting creative shortcomings. I don’t buy it and you shouldn’t either. You are the gatekeeper to your creativity.
EVERYONE IS CREATIVE. This is not complicated… everyone has an imagination.
Unfortunately creativity has systematically been crushed, standardized-tested and education-administrationed out of us – we’ve actually been taught NOT to be creative. But that’s just crazy you, in all your glorious youness, are wired to be creative. It’s already in you and it’s your greatest asset! All you need to do is choose to unleash your creative warrior. And I can help with this pretty-on-the-outside, tough-as-nails-on-the-inside book. Well, it’s pretty on the inside, too!
No matter what your day-to-day is, your ability to think and take creative action will help you navigate through any obstacle including fear, vulnerability and lack of self-confidence.
Creativity is the ability to view something through a different lens, from different perspectives. But it takes work. Asking questions, scavenging ideas like a child and taking bite-size action to open it up. Being creative is not for the lazy. Au contraire, Pierre! It’s for the curious and adventuresome who need to feed their souls and brains. Make It Your The Ultimate Guide To Owning Life – Unleashing Your Creative Warrior, is broken down into bite-size easy-to-digest chunks, which include realistic problems and solutions.
Action prompts to inspire and motivate you, including how •Fizz with ideas •Learn to build up and tear down thoughts for growth •Commit to evolving •Use less and make more •Re-train your brain and open new creative pathways •Risk being creative and work around fear •Get out of your funk •Make your own creative magic •Make creativity your spirit animal •Relieve anxiety through creativity •How to find explosive happiness through creativity
Full As evidenced by the title, I swear like a truck driver. So, if you’re squeamish about a few BS’s, F’s or IGTPYITP’s (bonus points if you figure that one out - reveal on my website), then GJITL.
About Tracy Porter (by John Porter) Tracy Porter is effervescent; her energy and passion seemingly limitless. She’s a serial entrepreneur and a serious up-failer, with no formal education to hold her back. She’s a hyper-imaginative, never-quit, hungry-for-explosive-happiness girl with 25+ years in the creative + business trenches. The products she’s designed have sold more than $500 million at retail around the world, at stores from Target and Bed Bath and Beyond to Macy’s, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale's. She’s been featured in various rags, from People to Elle magazine. She’s even been on Oprah for crissakes! Three times! She’s a great wife and business partner, and the best mom to our four boys. Oh, and she plays ringmaster of enough animals to sink an arc. She’s awesome and you’ll learn tons from her!
I am in love with everything about the "Make it your Bitch Series" This book "Unleashing your creative warrior" is an inspirational guide to tapping into your inner creative goddess and showing you how to make magic happen. My favourite element of this series is the bursts of Colours and design we find on almost all pages thoughout the book.
This is not only a great edition to anyone's bookshelf but would be a very elegant and decorative part to your home. I think this book would make a great Coffee Table book and a fantastic conversation starter.
Very typically of Tracey Porter, A Wilding Wells & John Porter you will find magic between the pages and a little of themselves as well. I cannot recommend this book enough, it is about Creativity, Self Belief, love, Passion, Risk and coming out the other side with so much self awareness. A fabulous read.
