What You Can’t Quit Thinking About

Every creative work invites us into something that the artist first experienced or imagined. Knowing this is a good reminder to be careful whose mind you’re spending time in. 

The best we can do as creatives is to invite others into the ideas we can't quit thinking about.

It’s okay if you’re not yet an expert on the topic you're passionate about. Far better to be a wide-eyed explorer who is curious rather than a bored expert on auto-pilot. Keep asking God questions rather than assuming you have all the answers. You’ll be amazed at how this provides an edge by infusing your art with wonder and awe.  

Then invite those with similar dreams, pain, and questions to travel alongside you. No one else can access or offer that exact combination of creativity because they haven't walked your exact journey. Embrace that rather than apologize for it.

Ultimately, what you create is an outer expression of your inner journey. When the internal journey of discovery stops, the creative process withers. So dive wholeheartedly into the unknown with God. Being in over your head is God’s way of taking you and your creativity to deeper places.  

If this resonates, I encourage you to print this image as a reminder of who you are and where you’re headed…with God.
