Those of us who are or have been creative for a living have, at one time or another, felt the weight of fear and self doubt of the ubiquitous question: “AM I GOOD ENOUGH?” Even when we have done it before too tremendous accolades and applause, we worry that perhaps that is as good as it will ever get… maybe our genius was just a fluke and we will be found out as the frauds and fakes that we fear we might be.

I certainly have been there and so has just about every creative person I have ever met. In fact, I would venture to say that every person — professionally creative or not — has had this same fear or worry that has eroded their joy in the present moment.

The video below is a talk by Elizabeth Gilbert, a best-selling author, in which she speaks to the core of everything that we are as creative individuals. In this uplifting and invigorating talk, she gives us a perspective with language and tools to help us separate “who we are” from “what we do.”

It is one of the fastest and most uplifting 19 minutes I have ever experienced.

I will be introducing 2 new Vlogs to my blog — “Ask The Life Coach” and “Ask The Small Business Marketing Coach.” These will be real life, real people questions from a down and dirty, person on the street interview format.

I have created a short 1 minute Vlog — with my new FLIP Mino  Video Camera — to give a quick explanation.  For those of you  who Vlog, check out the Flip.  It is literally smaller than my iPhone so I will carry it in my pocket all the time!

Check it out!
