I just had a real revelation when I was stopped cold in my creative work by what seemed to me a really difficult problem. I thought about the solution for days. But I just couldn’t find an answer that was really satisfying to me. I was stuck.
And here is the surprising but genius solution to getting unstuck: When you are stuck, just move on with your next best idea.
Instead of thinking and waiting and thinking again, just move on! Use what you currently have and make a step forward.
Time is one of the most valuable resources you have. How and where you spend your time determines the quality of your life. And you need to get control over your time.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how I can find my voice. Or better, how I can refine and clarify my voice. Because obviously I already have a voice. If you think about it, especially if you are a blogger or express yourself otherwise publicly, you also already have a voice.
Your voice is what you have to say to the world. So make it worth hearing!
It is something that what’s to get out of you. You have the feeling that you wouldn’t have really lived without letting the world know.
Your voice is in fact, your contribution to mankind.
The question is: What is your voice singing? And is it heard?
