How To Be Creative

100_1055

Looking to climb out of a rut, I downloaded the "How To Be Creative" manifesto from Change This this morning. So far, 18 pages in, I like what I've read and for anyone who has been feeling uninspired, I recommend checking it out:

How To Be Creative by Hugh MacLeod. Hugh writes on his blog, gapingvoid.

Here's an exerpt from his manifesto:

Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.

You may never reach the summit; for that you will be forgiven. But if you donʼt make at least one serious attempt to get above the snow line, years later you will find yourself lying on your deathbed, and all you will feel is emptiness.

What's your mountain?

Thanks for this!

My mountain is to change the world, make it a better place. Crazy I know, could I aim any higher? We'll see how it goes. :^)

Ah, I've heard of this manifesto before but never come across it in full til now. Interesting reading, and so is your blog, which I've just discovered. Hi!
