This was my doodle of the day...what is yours?

If you haven't doodled yet...what's keeping you?

Don't Wait to Create

Get moving.  Put something on paper.  Anything.

Grab a brush and splash some color or take a pen and fashion some words.  Don’t think, just do.

The color doesn’t have to be brilliant to shine and the words don’t have to make a sentence to make sense…just get going.

Writer’s block?  What to create?  What if it’s no good?

No time for excuses, no critic can fully critique those who create.

Go!



Begin

The greatest thing Steve Jobs did? Not the Apple II or the iOS software. I don't think it's his vision for Pixar or development of iTunes which changed the way we listen to music. And sorry to say, I don't think it's the creation of the iPhone or iPad.

Steve Jobs' greatest contribution is that he began.

In a garage with a friend and an idea.

No rules to follow; simply doing what only he could do.

Too many times we get hung up on trying to make something spectacular that we become paralyzed from doing anything at all. You can't change the world if you don't begin somewhere.

Camouflage Dragons

When I asked my son what color he was making his dragon, without skipping a beat he said, "Camouflage".

I didn't realize that "Camouflage" was a color (my hunting friends are way ahead of me on this one). However, what I can tell you is that a camouflage dragon is interesting to look at.

I've seen blue dragons, purple dragons, and yellow dragons before. But a camouflage dragon?

That's worth a second look.

Never before have we had more opportunity to create things that are worth a second look. We have access to tools via the web, through photoshop, and in our Crayola boxes that can help us bring to life what we could once only imagine.

So the obvious question: What is your camouflage dragon? What will you create today that is worth a second look?
