Many of us aspire to be creative in one form or another but we carry within us hindrances to either doing our work or releasing it out into the world. At times we may believe we're not good enough, that our work lacks meaning, isn't perfected, or we don't have enough talent and imagination to acheive what we desire. It may be that we fear criticism, failure and rejection, or perhaps resistant to change and success. Ultimately, the thoughts we think and the beliefs we hold, are what's holding us …
