Motivation

If you've ever experienced a creative block or fallen into a slump like I have, you know that it is not always easy to summon the motivation you need to get to work. Even when the project is exciting and important to you, there are still obstacles that can derail progress. Ultimately, our motivation comes down to our beliefs and the thoughts we choose to think about creativity.

Ability

Even the most skilled artists, authors, musicians are known to question their abilities and have new skills to master. Wherever you are in your creative journey, there are things you need to learn and practice in order to reach new vistas.
