He shared that these amazingly obvious and clever quotes just naturally come out of his mouth without any intention on his part. He has a natural talent for stating the obvious. I like this post because it's brief and pointed and I think you are onto something. Sometime we need to just follow what Nike says and do it! This is one of those times. Thanks I'm going to remember this one. Sara did you happen to catch the interview with Yogi during the All-Star game?

Usually I'll get the late-night idea, scribble a few words on a post-it and drift off. I'm impressed that you complete the thought right then and there. @Laurie: That shirt says it all. Dreaming is wonderful, but taking action toward a dream feels just as amazing. @Tiffany: You described the physical sensations well! I love the idea of a creative burp! @Barbara: Oh, you’re good.

One of my main deterrents of being creative is over thinking. I tend to think that my idea has been perfected by someone else and it would be a waste of time to repeat. I learned that creativity means believing that you can do it and knowing that the end result feels like the greatest accomplishment. I know everytime I write on my blog my mind, my body and my thoughts sort of relax for a while. The flow and release of creative juices always makes me burp. That burp feels awesome everytime!

It's obvious, but much like all creative pursuits, we have to actually DO it and not just think about it. (How nice it would be to author an award-winning novel...) Once we can get over that first hurdle of taking action, the rest seems to come more or less naturally.

Like you, I get ideas at the strangest times. Often just as I lay down for the night, I get a grand idea. I get up, go to the computer, and type (part) of my idea. It's an amazing process, isn't it? Hi Sara,

Blogging has brought out a creativeness in me I never knew I had. Like you, I get ideas at the strangest times. Often just as I lay down for the night, I get a grand idea. I get up, go to the computer, and type (part) of my idea.

It’s an amazing process, isn’t it?
