Quotes to Move Your Creativity Forward - Part 1

We all have those quotes that we use to remind ourselves of our passion.

Or to wake us up to remember our purpose.

Or maybe just to get us moving.

I have many quotes like this that I remind myself of from time to time. They help me remember why I’m here, what I’m doing, and what to do next. 

For the next 4 weeks, I would like to share my favorites with you.


“Around here we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
-Walt Disney
Film Producer, Director, Animator, Entrepreneur

Curiosity and creativity go hand and hand. Creativity is simply where curiosity meets innovation. 

Or, to put it more simply still, creativity happens when we try something new. That curious wondering of “I wonder what would happen…” or “How would it look if we…” is often where innovation is born. 

Trying new things is the essence of creativity and innovation. But no true innovation ever came by looking backwards. Knowing where you have been is essential, but only in as much as it also shows us the places we haven't been yet. 

Learn the lessons the past has to offer, but then move on.

Try new things.

Don't let fear stop you.

Keep moving forward.
