Express it Forward–Perfectionism (a tiny little box) [3 min Vlog]

Express it Forward is the brainchild of Visual Artist Ula Einstein.  The Vlog is co-hosted by myself, Douglas Turner.  We publish 3 minute vlogs; dialogues on keeping Creativity in Motion.  Something slowing your creative process down? Chances are Ula and I have or will address it in our powerful 3 minute talks!

In our latest vlog, Ula and I discuss perfectionism!  Perfectionism is not a standard.  Did you know that?  Perfectionism is a tiny neat little box, where not much happens.  Albert Einstein thought it mad to expect new results for a problem, when you’re using the same mind that created the problem in the first place.  Perhaps if you are creating for the status-quo, perfectionism might work… a tiny box is just fine.  But what if you are trying to go some place new?  New is unknown, and you’ll never get there waiting for perfection. A leader, a visionary; someone daring to go beyond the status quo, has to be willing to make mistakes!  Are you that person?

Express it Forward (3 min videos) Collaborating with Visual Artist Ula Einstein

I’m very happy to announce a collaborative endeavor with the multi-disciplinary visual artist Ula Einstein.  Ula is also a creativity coach.  Express it Forward is her philosophy and practice.  Einstein guides the dialogue using important tenets of Express It Forward.  In the dialogues we discuss how an individual might cultivate a creative perspective.  As a cultural observer my intention is bringing to the table, a wealth of examples and knowledge about the tendencies of cultures; the impersonal nature of this experience we are sharing.  Check back for new videos, better yet subscribe to the Express it Forward Channel on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/TheUlaEinstein

Express It Forward is the brainchild of Ula Einstein, it is a philosophy and practice designed to activate your creativity-in-motion. In this episode we address the nature of the comfort zone, and the challenge to move beyond it. We ask ourselves “what’s holding us back?”
