Action

 Creativity is not emotion, it is action. 

"Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. Never has there been a scroll, even such as the one I hold, which earned so much as a penny or produced a single word of acclamation. Action, alone, is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my dreams, my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which will nourish my success."

---The Scroll Marked IX - Og Mandino

I have spent a long time pounding a question of what is needed to act, to move, to do something. There is a wonderful mix of motivation, will, fear, belief , curiosity that come together to inspire and create the environment for action but the culmination of what is that thing that causes me to take another step, pick up a phone, reach out to learn seems to be just beyond the tip of my tongue and edge of my understanding. As I cross the bridge though between my thoughts and actions more frequently and more intentionally I feel its shape filling in.
