to hell with house goals

23 April 2012 by Andrea Leave a Comment

Yeah, you heard me…to hell with my house goals.

There’s certainly nothing wrong with having goals, and nothing specific wrong with any of my house goals. Just that I’ve finally realized that I keep trying to force a square peg into a round hole.

I keep trying to fit my creativity into some sort of sensible plan.

But a sensible plan is a left-brain function. Creativity is a right-brain function. Hence the square peg/round hole theory.

Not only have I been doing that with the creative jobs in my home, but I’ve been doing that with a lot of things in my life. Trying to do what others think I should do. Because it makes more sense. Or because they know more than me. Or because they’ve done a better job than me. Or had fewer failures than me.

It’s time to stop trying to fit a square peg into round hole. It’s time to listen to that little voice inside of me. Whether it’s about the big things in life or about the fun creative things that I want to do in my home.

So to hell with the house goals.

I’m gonna do whichever project I feel like doing, whenever I feel like doing it. Whatever floats to the top of the list. But I’m guessing then it will be inspired. And if creativity isn’t inspired, what’s the point?

I hope you’ll come along for the ride with me!
