“Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.” – Julia Cameron

I sat staring at a blank page tonight, uninspired and tired. So I proceeded to give up and put my computer back in my office and shifted my blank stare to mediocre repeat shows on television. I didn’t feel like researching or putting rigor into the content that I want to offer on Start3Things.

But I couldn’t go to bed without posting this. If we wait for inspiration to start, we will rarely if ever start. There’s nothing magical or romantic about it. It takes work, repetition and filling up the blank page with less than perfect words. To accomplish meaningful and lasting things, the things we are built for, we need to put in effort and push through so we don’t get stuck in our heads.
