The Urge To Be The Creator
September 21, 2013
I want to lead, not follow.
I want to speak, not listen.
I want to be the writer, not the reader.
I want to be the painter, not the admirer.
I want to be the creator, not just
the creation
but
there is no fruit for one
who writes but not reads
who paints but not admires
for,
without first following,
one cannot know how to lead
without first listening,
one will not be listened to
Imerse yourself
in your passion,
then only can you
inspire passion in others;
then only can you be
the creator.
