I believe one of the worst things you can do for your creativity and
sanity is to presume that what you are doing has to somehow be
important and notable.
Who says so?
We live in a world where competitiveness is the
rule. Winning is what it's all about. How to get ahead. How to leave
your mark. How to stand out from the crowd. Many people think about it
all the time. We believe that we need to strive to be noticed in a
world that is already overflowing with snappy marketing campaigns and
boisterous advertising slogans. Even in our personal lives, we feel the
pressure to be, to do and to have more, better, the latest and sexiest
on the block. Never mind "keeping up with the Jones's"; you have to
find a way to outshine and outdo everyone or you risk being regulated
to the category of an 'also-ran' and common before you even get
started. It's a tough world out there and if you can't compete, then
that's just too bad.
Then, of course, you have the other camp that will tell you you don't
need to do a thing. "The universe", they say "is full of abundance and
all you need to do is concentrate on this cornucopia of affluence to
get your share. Sure, I agree that the world is full of abundance; just
like it's full of water - you still need to go to the well to get your
glass filled, though some people feel they need to bring a bucket. And
once again we're faced with having to do something (or, in this case
'nothing') in order to be successful. People will try anything in their
quest for distinction and glory.
I believe many great and worthy ideas are never brought to light
because the originators of these ideas don't feel that they could
possibly be competitive in an already highly competitive market. I say
forget the market! Forget how good your nutty idea is and just do it
anyway!
Write that novel, knowing full well that it will never become a
best-seller. Get dancing even if you're no Fred Astaire. Does it really
matter? You may be confronted with criticism from people who prescribe
to the view that only public triumph is real triumph, but you must
simply ignore this delusional thinking. There is no need for it to be
perfect as long as it's something you really love. Perhaps you will
confirm that by finding the courage to try and to fumble at it, you may also
find the courage to excel. Copywrite by George Allan /2005
