“Don’t wait for inspiration, act first – that’s when the magic happens.”

– Robert Rodriguez

So many people in creative spaces sometimes feel like they have to earn the opportunity to create.

Nope.

Just get up and go do the thing. Stop waiting for permission from people that aren’t going to give it to you.

You feel moved to paint something? Get the paint. Get the canvas. Go paint.

You feel moved to write something? Grab your phone and start writing in your notes section.

You feel moved to act? Find a monologue. Practice it. Then get your phone and use camera to record yourself.

Stop making things complicated. Just do the thing.

If it’s bad or not as good as you thought, good!

A moment of honesty, it’s not going to be that good the first time.

That means you can learn more about the craft and grow. And you should if you care about it!

That means you aren’t perfect and can enjoy the journey of honing your craft.

That means you’re human.“Don’t wait for inspiration, act first – that’s when the magic happens.” – Robert Rodriguez
