Tina Turner Quote on Creativity
Tina Turner once said, "Sometimes you've got to let everything go; purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything . . . whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out." I think that Tina hit the nail on the head and I believe Sawyer would agree. When I first read this quote, "flow" came to mind. In order for one to achieve flow, he or she has to have a clear mind. Take me for example; it is nearly impossible for me to hit a 95 mph fastball if all I can think about is whether if I am going to pass comps or not as I'm stepping into the batter's box . However, if I step into the box and with the "I don't care what this son of a biscuit eater throws, I'm going to square the ball up" kind of mindset, I am more likely to achieve the "flow" state of mind and be more successful.

I can easily relate to Trey on this blog post. I have never been the greatest hitter and I especially do not hit well when my mind is filled with things that happened in the past. My thoughts from the previous inning or at bat get in the way and my current at bat goes down hill from there. I need to learn to clear my head and just go with the "flow".
ReplyDeleteI feel that life can be that way too. I need to go with the flow more often because everything happens for a reason. Everything works out somehow in the end and I need to learn to stop trying to control everything beforehand. Recently in class we discussed how a controlled environment contained less creativity. I might have a more "creative" life if i stopped trying to control it.
I can also relate to this article Trey. Once you get into the box, you can't have much thought going on because if you do, you are more than likely going to be unsuccessful. Those were some inspiring words from Tina Turner. It's amazing what we all can do once you get outside of your comfort zone and learn to accept the other aspects of our lives. That is when we can be truly creative. Good quote Trey.
