Creative Inspiration: Tiger Courage

Narrow down goals set for 2022 as we enter the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Tiger – courage, strength and wisdom offer the possibility to soar in new creative dimensions.

 

Creativity, like the birth of every new year goes on in whatever shape, form, time of week, or day it chooses to make its presence felt. A fresh look at how to reinvent creativity is alive with the advent of the Lunar New Year.

 

the noble and fearless creative

 

Competing with oneself is healthy competition in achieving one’s heart’s desires for a better version of last year’s self when the tiger’s strength and courage are called upon.

To endeavour (NB: a lifelong endeavour) to master the craft of writing is to read and learn from the writers/artists one admires as mentors, and whose works are enjoyed. Choose from a range of mentors to extend the reach by being open to the recommendations on the craft of creating. Read every book humanely possible to grow the craft in many and diverse ways.

 

 

 

To say a writer should write in one style or genre is limiting the capacity a writer possesses for experimentation, and possible success that comes with  attempting a new way.

 

 

sitting in a long-term comfort zone is tedious, safe –  this is not in the spirit of the brilliantly courageous tiger.

 

 

Challenging the self is a wise way to curate the best creative version of oneself.

 

dare to be different

 

No one way is ever the only way or best way – the best stems from daring to be authentic, to enrich how the creative works to harness new inventive powers buried within.

 

Here’s to courage and strength in the dawn of the Lunar New Year!

the dawn of the second month creeps in — January pants 

in unfinished business carried over 

days pass like the speed of light 

 chasing the tail of many months 

as responsibilities mount 

like the leaves of autumn winds  

but imagination breathes new life  

in spring dreams of possibilities  

arriving on the gilded wings of time  

twelve months to reinvent 

turn the page on the book of life

the wind whispers then roars 

‘we’ll get there — together’

Have a very happy, and adventurous Lunar New Year!

 

Good health!
