Unblock The Block

Listen to "Unblock The Block" on Spreaker. A student asked me "How do you deal with writer's block?" My response was prepared, "I don't believe it. It's a moment or a chapter in your present where you think everything you do sucks. Give yourself permission to be different than what you were yesterday and learn to bend with the wind like a willow." In the broadcast industry we truly don't have time to let walls stand in front of us. There are too many dots that need to become solid lines. To say "Give yourself permission to suck." feels more like a personal attack rather than an open heart guided toward a peaceful discovery. We can't be our best everyday. If you collect enough of those bad storms eventually you begin to believe in them. Change leads the pack on why so many feel blocked. Accept it for what it is. Without change we wouldn't have the luxury of digital devices and other comforts. I remember when the iPhone began it's processes of change and people wanted the old model back. Look how far we've come. Personal change is no different. Bosses and family can stand in your way of growth. Always remember you are the President and CEO of Me Inc. Only you can prevent yourself from growing forward. Allow yourself the opportunity to trip and stumble without having to label it a block.

Beyond Writing

Listen to "Beyond Writing" on Spreaker. I've always loved reading the stories about how Rock Stars laid out their biggest songs on a restaurant napkin. They knew in that moment how fast a thought will disappear if you set it aside. Outside the world of entertainment the everyday person doesn't play by the same layout of expression. The thoughts we carry are often times infected by a past and or ambition that isn't being met. As much as I promote daily writing you'd think the chore of putting words onto paper would lift the path to better shapes and shades of light. That doesn't happen until you locate the courage to let your doodles and word scribbles become part of the path of decision making. What you layout on paper in the morning, noon and even at night is the inner core of your present talking to what is about to become your tomorrow. Treat it as a game in the beginning. Make it a play toy for a month. That artist inside has more control over you then you think. When it's not being given proper attention you're bloated with mood swings and crazy cravings for food and other things. Hear that voice. Then plant the seed in a sheet of paper.
