" Our role as creative people is
to just show up with the stuff.
To go on the journey
and to not take it personally.
Figuring out how to be a productive contributor
is the creative way.
Its how we move forward."
SETH GODIN - In his lecture on Mindfulness & Creativity at Work
from Love & Resilience - The Contemplative Care Summit, 2021.
"Resistance is our way of getting ourselves off the hook.
Resistances provide us with a shroud to hide ourselves behind.
Peace of mind (in relation to resistances) means -
you accept that there are waves in the ocean
that each wave that comes will be different
and that surfing them is the whole point."
SETH GODIN - In his lecture on Mindfulness & Creativity at Work
from Love & Resilience - The Contemplative Care Summit, 2021.
"Reassurance is Futile.
It's futile because the person who reassures us
that its all going to be OK,
cannot possibly know that.
Seeking reassurance is a trap.
What we need to know is
that people have our back,
that when it doesn't work someone has got us
that they will help us try again,
help show us where to go to next."
SETH GODIN - In his lecture on Mindfulness & Creativity at Work
from Love & Resilience - The Contemplative Care Summit, 2021.
"If you are doing something
that you've never done before,
how can you know if its going to work?
You can't.
If you don't feel like you are an impostor in this situation, you might not be trying hard enough.
Whenever you feel like you are an impostor
remind yourself, you are on to something."
SETH GODIN - In his lecture on Mindfulness & Creativity at Work
from Love & Resilience - The Contemplative Care Summit, 2021.
"Writer's Block is a myth.
Your ideas don't come from outside, but inside you.
Writer's block is a socially acceptable name for -
'I'm afraid of my bad writing,
and because I'm afraid of my bad writing,
I'm afraid to write at all'
If I say I am blocked,
I don't have to encounter my bad writing.
So what I encourage you to do here
is to get over your fear
of writing badly
You do that by writing"
SETH GODIN - In his lecture on Mindfulness & Creativity at Work
from Love & Resilience - The Contemplative Care Summit, 2021.
" We cannot do creative work
unless we are prepared to accept the fact
that creative projects don't always succeed.
Failure is an event, not a person.
What would you do if you knew from the start
you were going to fail?
What would be worth doing anyway?"
SETH GODIN - In his lecture on Mindfulness & Creativity at Work - as part of Love & Resilience - The Contemplative Care Summit, 2021.
