I'm currently having a think about who to pass it on to. Like I said in my post, I like to chew things over!<br /><br />Cleo. thank you for your kind words and ongoing support. It's lovely to have such great online blogging friends.<br /><br />Hi Pam, thanks for stopping by and leaving a great comment. You are welcome any time. :)<br /><br />Saraharmony, I am so glad to hear you are giving "Phyllis" a piece of your mind! I have a "Phyllis" too. I don't think Phyllis means any harm, I think she's just trying to keep us safe as we venture into unknown territory, but she needs to calm down and trust that everything will be ok! Hope you're having a great day. :)<br /><br />Hi Lizzy, I'm glad this post has been useful. I've been listening Kim each time I've had a wobble too. If I keep on like this, I'll know it off by heart...!

I always branded myself as 'uncreative' (for years) but the truth was I was scared of letting my creative out incase I failed. Over the past year I have finally had the courage to tell my 'Phyllis' to shut up and my creativity has poured out. Its not always as great as I hope but I'm enjoying every moment of it. <br /><br />Looking forward to your next post!Saraharmonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639669610690708937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427118246454500794.post-86596392395725915542010-01-23T03:03:30.566+00:002010-01-23T03:03:30.566+00:00BRAVO!!

You'r...What a wonderfully profound piece Emma. <br />You're truly the genuine article when it comes to being creative because it's just as important to allow 'us' into your mind as appreciate your talents. <br /><br />I love the 'Phyllis' scenario we need some kind of switch to reinforce our positivity.cleobytheseaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203708619119849353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427118246454500794.post-59070036123095420702010-01-20T00:32:18.603+00:002010-01-20T00:32:18.603+00:00Mimi and Tilly,

You've really got me thinking about the nature of fear, and our "vision". I'll be chewing that over for the next couple of days. I really like the idea of you being able to "see" your vision, and how that diminishes your fear. I deal with fear differently and will be writing about that in a different post, I think. After I've mulled it over!Mimi and Tillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538674717041795218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427118246454500794.post-25346772154647927382010-01-18T20:11:52.248+00:002010-01-18T20:11:52.248+00:00It's so nice to meet you and I can tell I'...It's so nice to meet you and I can tell I'm going to learn a lot from your blog and enjoy every minute of it!<br /><br />You've so many excellent ideas in this post, why, you've launched about another 15 post ideas~<br /><br />I heard Carol Burnett say once that when she's afraid of doing something, she likes to think of her fear as a woman named "Phyllis". <br /><br />So she says to Phyliss to just be quiet and shut up.<br /><br />I like it.<br /><br />I think too, yes, you are SO right, fear is self limiting, but vision can be even more so.<br /><br />I believe what sets me apart as an entrepreneur is not so much going foward in the face of fear (because businesses are always the great unknown) but having vision.<br /><br />I can "see" the finished result and because of that vision, my fear is greatly diminished.Entrepreneur Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560499933792398415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427118246454500794.post-12805629772586254062010-01-18T14:43:27.197+00:002010-01-18T14:43:27.197+00:00I'll be listening to your recording each time ...I'll be listening to your recording each time fear creeps up on me! Thank you for putting it out into the blogosphere. I'll also be taking a look at your wife's website, so thank you for the shameless plug! I totally agree with you regarding coming from a place of fear. It's my intention that I continue this creative journey as far as I can take it, even though there are times where I find myself breathing quite rapidly into a paper bag... And not just because it's got gin in it.Mimi and Tillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538674717041795218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427118246454500794.post-81679234535763108742010-01-18T14:16:02.762+00:002010-01-18T14:16:02.762+00:00Aw, thank you!

The distinction between creatives and non-creatives was meant as an outside distinction - one labelled by other people.<br /><br />My wife is an artist and we've sometimes discussed other people we know who are very creative but never progress it beyond a hobby. And the only difference is that my wife is out there promoting and selling her work (www.maggieayres.co.uk - shameless plug, I know...), and the others aren't. <br /><br />The creativity is there, but the fear they will be ridiculed, or fail, or not be taken seriously, or not sell anything - this is what holds them back - their fear, not their ability.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, my wife will start to fall asleep too if I talk for a while, especially in the evening - although she insists it's because it's soothing not that I'm boring her...Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.com
