Motivation to get out and DO IT

Have you ever come up with an idea, whether it be for a story or a film or a music video, and then been hindered by the pesky “It’s already been done before” mentality? This is often a killer of the creative process, but it does not have to be. The truth is, a lot of things have already been done in some way or another, but there’s always the possibility that they haven’t been done in YOUR way. After all, you are your own person with your own different perspective, so you shouldn’t be too worried about doing something that might be similar to another piece of work. When it comes down to it, creativity is essentially about putting your own twist or spin on something. Defy expectations. Blend genres. Flip the script. Take things into another direction. 

For some motivation on burying the “It’s been done before mentality” and doing things your own way, check out this inspirational video entitled “The Best Advice for CREATIVES”. It really is the best advice.
