You will always procrastinate more, if your default answer to the creative impulse is no.

When the creative impulse hits you, you have two choices.

Either you say no, and end up with nothing.

Or say yes, and end up with everything.

There is no middle ground.

You can’t schedule success or creativity.

You cannot be ready for anything, just because your schedule says so.

Creativity will always come to you in the form of a creative impulse.

You follow it, and you will end up with beauty beyond your imagination.

You deny it, you decide not to follow the creative impulse to its completion, you end up with nothing. No creative output whatsoever.

Creativity happens to you, hits you, comes to you, if you’re a creative individual.

It cannot be scheduled, bottled up and stored for later, or delayed until you’re ready for creating something.

You cannot decide to arbitrarily be creative at the moment, because it’s time to create.

You have to follow the creative impulse whenever it comes to you, no matter what.

Wherever it leads you, you have to follow it to its completion, until satisfied.

Or else it will stop coming to you.

But what if my life feels chaotic, disorganized, and all over the place because of this?

It won’t.

Following your creative impulses and exercising your creativity and creative energy, powers, abilities, and potential will activate your brain in a way that finally ends all chaos in your life. You will finally have a frontal lobe. You will finally have full executive functioning. You will finally have all your intelligence, powers, and abilities back in an unprecedented and unmatched way.

This certainly beats the hell out of the perpetual brain fog, lack of concentration, motivation, energy, enthusiasm, excitement, and desire or will to do anything that you’ve always had, when you tried to lead a life where you always had your creativity under absolute and total control, or even tried to shut it down altogether, to have an easier or more successful life without any creativity whatsoever.

A life where you had to push yourself to get things done, even the simplest and easiest of things or tasks there is.

A life where you struggle insanely to make the simplest, easiest, or smallest of decisions, even when it comes to the stuff that truly doesn’t matter at all, or does not make any difference whatsoever, now or in the future.

A life where you had to work so hard just to crush your creativity, abilities, powers, intelligence, and potential.

A life where you had to work so hard just to crush yourself, your core values and core identity, most authentic self, and who you truly are.

A life where you struggled so hard just to be normal.

Just to do the bare minimum.

Just to avoid failure.

Just to survive.

Is that a life where everything is under control?

Is that your definition of order? A life that is organized and totally going in the direction that you truly want? Is that your definition of intentional living?

Did you end up saving your energy more when you created less? Did you end up having more energy because you don’t deplete your energy through creative work, and because you don’t use all your limited energy on being maximally creative as much as humanly possible?

Or did you end up with no energy whatsoever, despite sleeping every day until fully rested, and exercising every day like a professional athlete?

Tell me, please, which is more under control.

Your life without creativity?

Or your life when you allow yourself to follow the creative impulse to its completion, whenever it comes to you, and wherever it leads you?

A life where you create as much as humanly possible, like there’s no tomorrow?
