Villains, and even family and friends can be Walls away from the Imagination and creativity.

Projection and expectation is normal in every culture but it’s wrong-headed. Creation is about doing what you love. Being happy is about doing what you love, not what your family or friends love. Just because one person settled into a way of living in the world doesn’t mean they can subject their kids or friends to the same pressure. Create.

Walls are a powerful metaphor what leads us away from Imagination and creativity.

Artists, writers, actors, inventors, academics, are no different from every one else. We’re all different, but we all have one thing in common: Walls. All creators suffer. At times they can’t create. They make mistakes. They have off days. Walls. What do they do? They accept they’re having an off day, what someone once called an inspiring dry patch, and keep working anyway. They know the off day is a wall, and that it will eventually disappear. And the wall of walls? Fear. We all have it. It’s insidious. I have it. I’ve known many very successful creators. They have it too. Their fears are the same as mine, as yours.

Creation and creativity is not owned by artists and writers.

Yes, not everyone is an artist, but everyone is a creator. A surgeon uses his hands just as deftly as an artist does on her painting and palette. Creation’s for everyone. We all create in different ways, but knowing you are creative is empowering, if you embrace it. In this intro John talks about what the podcast is about and why he started it. Create.
