"Ideas can grow, they can get side-tracked or go away.Inspiration will always try its best to work with you-but if you are not readily available, it may choose to leave you and look for a different human collaborator."

"A different way is to cooperate fully, humbly and joyfully with inspiration"

These quotes are taken from Elizabeth's Gilbert book, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear.

They really speak to me in regards to my own journey and process of writing this book. Therefore, in this episode I talk about how I engaged with the creative ideas that came over the years. Like Elizaabeth says, some of those ideas came and went, some got side-tracked, some went away and some stayed. I believe that those that stayed, only stayed, because I was paying attention, I was showing up and showing gratitude when they arrived. I had entered into a committed relationhsip with the ideas. Even when those painful and challenging moments came, I stayed committed.

Your process might be different, however, if I could give one advise, that will be, to be open to ideas when they come. Don't judge them, accept them, acknowldge them and have fun with them.
