Creative Forces


How Design has an article on how to make this month more creative. They provide a different exercise for you each week. At the end of the month, hopefully, you'll see how different you are seeing your world around you. Naturally, I jumped ahead to week four. It happens to be my favorite so I will share it with you.

"During the 2006 Winter Olympics, Americans Shani Davis and Chad Hedrick—two of the world’s fastest skaters—were scheduled for the 1500-meter speed skating event. For weeks before the match, they bickered in the media about each other’s behavior and who would win the Gold. As it turned out neither did—the medal was won by Italy’s Enrico Frabris.

Their loss is a good example of what Dr. David Hawkins says is the difference between power and force—what we’re for empowers us; what we’re against weakens us. This week try not to spend time and energy being against anything. Instead, invest that energy in your creative growth and personal best." Sam Harrison
