Brainwashed

Brainwashed is another online article feature on www.changethis.com. The manifesto contains helpful information to reinventing yourself as a creative person.  Seth Godin, the writer of the article, gives seven main points when reinventing creativity. These seven points are, connect, be generous, make art, acknowledge the lizard, ship, fail and learn.  The article seems to be very helpful.  As i first read the article i was pondering over the "acknowledge the lizard" key point.  Godin explains this "lizard" to be a part of your brain; the part that worries and will release anger.  You must control this "lizard." When someone critiques or laughs at your creative work, you must not be discouraged and fight the resistance to stop you from using your creativity.  The second key point from Godin that I pondered on was his "connect" section.  Being in a creative industry, everything is about connections, connections, and more connections!  In school teachers encourage everyone to be social because you never know who can help you in your creative endeavors.  If you are the only one to notice your creative work, that creative work will stay with you and will not get a chance to put an impression on anyone if you dont get out and talk!  My entire blog applies to both of these points very easily.  As i add on to this blog, I will not be discouraged if someone disagrees with any of my statements or inputs.  Thus "acknowledging the lizard" as Godin states.  This  blog will also help my career with connections (hopefully). I want this blog to help me make connections.  I would like other creative individuals to look at my creative works, ideas, and opinions that I list here. I love to express myself through my works, and I hope everyone enjoys them!
