In today's episode, you’ll dive deep into the significance of courage in our lives, particularly in the realm of creativity. Drawing inspiration from the book 'The Courage to Create' by Rollo May, you’ll explore how courage is the linchpin for making progress in multiple dimensions—career, personal growth, mental well-being, and much more. Join me as we confront our ideas, fears, and the barriers that hinder our creative pursuits.

Key Takeaways

• Courage as a Driving Factor: The courage to take steps forward has been a pivotal element in shaping Leone's life and career.

• The World Needs Your Creativity: Your creative ideas can be a beacon of hope and change in a world that often seems dark and complex.

• Courage is Quiet: Courage is not about being the loudest in the room but is an internal quality sensed by people around you.

• The Role of Doubt: Acknowledging your doubts and fears can be a powerful catalyst for growth.

Key questions to ask yourself

• If the person you admire the most came to you with the same creative block, what advice would you give them? 

  Sometimes, we're better at advising others than to ourselves. What would you tell your role model if they faced the same creative challenges?

• Imagine it's five years from now, and you've continued to avoid creating. What would you miss out on?

  Projecting into the future can offer clarity on what you stand to lose if you don't address your creative barriers now.

• What if you approached your creative work as if you couldn't fail? How would that change your next steps?

  Removing the element of fear allows you to think more openly and take actions you might have otherwise avoided.

• If you were to view your creative block as an ally rather than an enemy, what could it be trying to tell you?

  Changing your perspective on creative blocks can open new avenues for overcoming them.

• What story are you telling yourself about your ability to create, and how could you reframe that narrative in a more empowering way?

  The stories we tell ourselves often become self-fulfilling prophecies. Consider changing your internal dialogue to facilitate growth.
