You Might Just Surprise Yourself
So, I haven’t TOUCHED my knitting needles in at least three years. And to be honest, it’s not like I was ever I master at knitting in the first place.
I was perusing the aisles at Tuesday Morning a couple of weeks ago and spotted two balls of the most gorgeous yarn I’d seen in quite some time. I threw it in my cart. I put it back on the shelf two different times before I finally grabbed it on my way to the register at the front of the store.
Knitting? I’ve already got so many crafting and writing projects to keep me busy. Why should I waste my time on something I’m sure I’ve forgotten how to do?
I can’t tell you how glad I am that I fought off that voice of negativity and bought some beautiful yarn. If I had given in to the pessimist inside, I would have created this beautiful pouch out of that beautiful yarn:
My Point?
Of course I have one!
The worst “creativity killer” we encounter is none other than that lovely mug we see in the mirror each day. Negative thoughts have more power than we often realize. That’s what makes them so dangerous.
Pessimistic thoughts have this uncanny ability to find that one loose thread dangling from our sweater. It may start with just a few small inches coming loose. But as soon as one negative thought grabs hold of that thread, everything comes unraveled much quicker and easier than you anticipated.
Fight Your Negative Judgments
Don’t give into negativity today. Prove your pessimist wrong and do something those negative opinions tell you that you can’t do. And do it well.
How will you prove those negative thoughts wrong?
