That is, after you have put in the hours, days, weeks, months and years of Mastering your Craft. Remember, Da Vinci was not an overnight sensation... he was an Artist Committed to his Craft wherein the CREATIVE PROCESS had a Skillful and Willing Participant. There are no short-cuts to a Masterpiece! Elizabeth Gilbert got it Right when she said... "Your part is Showing Up." You do that with your Skill or Craft, and the Creative Element will take care of its self. The next thing to do... would be to pass this practical video clip along to your Creative Friends. I'm sure they'll thank you for it.
