Are You Collecting or Creating? (D212)

Tasra Dawson —  March 31, 2010 — 4 Comments

The day started early and ended late, but the ride was an adventure. From the start of Dane Sanders Fast Track Roadshow this morning, we were on an adventure that would challenge what we believed about our photography, our business and our selves. That’s not an exaggeration.

My brain is still swirling with the details and figuring out where I’m going to land at the end of the roller coaster, so I’ll keep this brief. I’ve still got another entire day to continue processing and moving forward toward the risk and reward of authenticity.

I’ll leave you with this takeaway… are you collecting or creating?

Are you collecting, compiling, researching and organizing ideas and dreams about creativity and your creative life…
or are you actively creating a life you’ve always wanted.
There is a vast difference. One is a spectator sport, the other is in the game.
Which are you?

    Tasra! This is a fantastic post! So simple — collecting vs. creating. Easy to remember too. As I coach small business owners, this is one of the biggest hurdles they have, especially at the beginning. Many are afraid that they just need to collect one more piece of information before they can really start creating the products and services that will lead to achievement of their life's work. Of course we always have to collect information, but if we never stop long enough to actually introduce something to the universe, all we are doing is hoarding.

    Love it!

      Such a great point… I don't want to be a hoarder. It really frees me up to just share even more on the blog all the things I'm learning! Thanks for your insight.

    Lately I'd say I'm collecting. Haven't gotten around to the creating part yet. ;) Found you from the ultimate blog party.

      Thanks for stopping by my the Ultimate Blog Party! So fun to meet other
      bloggers. If you're collecting, I'd say it's time to start putting that
      collection to good use… otherwise it become hoarding. :-)
