Love it. And it doesn’t just expand. It turns and twists as well.

YES to “freeing your mind!” My creativity flows best when I can change my mind or do whatever it takes to see something differently.

I give myself the right to shift my mindset. And, the truth I hold self-evident is that I can use my insight to see and not just my eyes.

I love giving my clients a “Creativity Boost Session” and your Bill of Rights idea is right on. Thank you for the inspiration!

Sounds awesome. Audio books are da bomb, are they not?

Well said, Ken!

I particularly like that you included the right to change your mind. I cringe when I hear someone say (usually to a politician) something like “But in 1987 you said…” as though staying ‘consistent’ is more important than continuing to think.

The only way to be 100% certain of everything you say would be to never say anything — the opposite of creative expression.

Thanks for your clever rephrases of the Founders, too. I’m sure Jefferson would approve.

Love this! I give myself the right to step away from my desk and the never-ending To Do list so I can take a walk or park it at Peet’s coffee and journal some juicy ideas.

Also, as a writer, my secret to cranking out lots of books and content: I check in to a hotel every month for two to three days and write, write, write. I have a favorite place an hour away that is on the water so on the drive over, I listen to a good audio book and prep myself for major creative productivity. It works like a charm!

Keep up the great work here!
