Creative people make decisions. Otherwise, it’s impossible to make anything.
I decided to make drawings. I decided to make poems. I decided to make a blog. I decided to make this book. When I’m finished I’ll make something else, but before I do I’ll have to decide what it’s going to be.
Want to be creative? Start deciding.
You don’t have to decide how you’re going to spend the rest of your life. You just have to decide how you’re going to spend the time you have right in front of you.
Decide what you’re going to make. Have you been thinking about writing a poem? Stop thinking and decide to do it. Then do it.
When you’re done, you can decide to write another one or draw a picture or write up the first part of a business plan.
It really doesn’t matter what you decide. It only matters that you do.
Decision leads you somewhere. Indecision takes you nowhere.
The more decisions you make, the better you get at making them. Why? Because decisions breed actions, actions gets results, results provide feedback, and feedback is something you can use to make better decisions. Nothing decided, nothing learned.
Set aside thirty minutes, decide how you’re going to spend it, and see what happens. Take what you learn in those thirty minutes and decide how you’re going to spend the next thirty you set aside.
Keep deciding. Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep going.
This is how you begin to make things.
