I’ve lost a lot of that creative energy past few weeks but the reframe of “choose your must” is helpful. Thank you!

I can relate all too well, Rick. Which led me to this inspiration of "choose your must." There's really only room for one must at a time. So, get clear and pick ONE from the many.

You can change when you've finished and completed a cycle with that one, but diffusion doesn't serve.

A light beam through a glass prism creates a lovely rainbow on the wall, but the same light, when focused, becomes a laser.

As always, thanks for adding to the discussion here.

"Choose your must!" Another shiny dime winner Terri. I find that my challenge is that I choose too many musts. Which of course doesn't work. Jim Collins said, "If you have more than 3 priorities you don't have any at all." That's me and my "musts." It's not like I don't walk away from a large percentage of what my brain comes up with and my heart wants to pursue. Even after culling the field I'm left with too many juicy possibilities. What do you do when too many creative projects and wonderful ideas matter to you so much and you can't bear to kill the plethora of darlings? Not asking for a friend. : )
