Lose Your Mind and Release Your Creativity
by Harrison @ Men with Pens creativitywriters flow“You do your best work when you don’t think too much.” I laughed when I read the words that James had typed to me. It was true.
“It’s funny,” he continued. “There’s ‘don’t think’ and ‘don’t care’. When a person doesn’t care, I see it right away. When a person doesn’t think, the results are usually spectacular.” Right again. I see many people trying to produce nothing short of miracles each time they work.
Unfortunately, that attitude of striving for perfection does work against you.
