Want to change the world? Create something

(Today’s Show Up! Journal power words): Make your mind your inspiration and make your body your instrument. That’s how you create, make art, and change the world. 

All the thoughts and inspiration in the world don’t mean diddly unless you use them to do something, unless you make them express something. If you don’t use what’s inside you as the catalyst for outer change, growth, or expression, then it just languishes inside the echo chamber.

Instead, take one small step. Are you a secret artist? Draw a sketch on a paper napkin. Are you a hidden writer? Write your first haiku. Are you an undiscovered musician? Hum a tune. Do something. Make something. Express something! It doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be.
