I do have a couple of "Really Big" projects that I've been leary of jumping into....for several reasons, but mainly that fear of falling flat on my face - or worse - no one else being interested in them. Thank you for the encouragement, and stirring me up about stepping out and trying anyways! I do tend to stick to "safer" previously-proven projects, and when I do anything else, I don't "advertise" it so that if it fails, it fails quietly and un-noticed by anyone other than me... Thank you for the "pep talk" LOL Thank you for your posts – they’ve all really hit home recently!!!

How cool that it has amped up your creativity--I didn't talk about that in the post, but it's <strong>so true</strong> that when we take on the challenge of a bigger project or idea, it changes our perceptions of what's possible and allows us to "think bigger" in all our creativity and artmaking...which is an incredible gift we get from attempting something hard.

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:05:38 +0000 http://makegreatstuff.com/?p=4324#comment-254 Thanks for the inspirational post! I'm in the midst of a big creative project and have been feeling exactly what you've described. A good thing that has come out of this project (regardless of its outcome) is that I've found my creativity has been recharged, I'm more inspired in all aspects of my life. This time of year is slow in my "real" job and I'm usually going stir-crazy, but this year I'm full of excitement for the great ideas I'm coming up with. Thanks for the inspirational post!
