Homes Juegos Carreras Real Estate Investing | What Winter Driving Taught Me - Creative Dreams
July 26th, 2010
homes We had a winter storm the other day here in Toronto. And as I was driving, I started thinking about what my winter driving had in common with my creative dreams. Here’s what I came up with.
1. Being grateful to be in my car, pointed in the right direction and moving (however slowly). Some days I don’t accomplish as much work towards my creative dream as I set out to. Other days it seems like I’m moving backwards.

I’m doing the right things to protect my creative dreams and keep them alive.

3. If I try to do more than one thing at a time I risk derailing myself – and my very survival. A winter storm day is not the time to open a water bottle, make a phone call or jot down my grocery list while I’m driving.
I have many creative dreams and many things I want to accomplish everyday, every week and throughout my life. I can do them all. And I can only do one at a time. Spreading myself thin makes it harder to be effective and I risk giving up on one of my projects.
One worry is that I’ll “lose something” – completely forget about a project or my excitement for it. I have to keep faith that the really special projects won’t be forgotten.
And that if something is jumping in front of me and distracting me from the task at hand, maybe the truly exciting thing about it is that it’s taking me away from the “drudgery” of completing what’s in front of me. I need to complete what’s in front of me.
