"It is not what we do, it is how much love we put in the doing."Catholic Nun
1910 - 1997
Do you put love into what you do? As creative leaders we should love the process of creating. The more love we put into our work; the more creative the end product is. If you don't enjoy the process, then why do you do it? Are you doing it for the wrong reasons? For money? For fame? For sex?
Some writers and artists struggle to produce work. I once read about a writer who published his first novel in his thirties and didn't publish his second until he was in his eighties. For some people the creative process is difficult work. I suggest you put love into your work and you might find it more enjoyable and less painful. The journey we take is often more important than the destination. We find out who we are and why we are here through the process of creating.
The process of creating is a form of prayer — a connection to a power beyond ourselves, to a purpose bigger than us. When we lose connection with this creative force, we stumble and struggle to create. Writers and painters both talk about being in the flow — of something greater than themselves actually taking control and doing the creating. They are only the instrument in the hands of the creative force. They connect through love.
