You seek answers to your creative challenges in every
art, self-help, and inspirational dream book that catches your
eye. But soon you find a dozen half-read, barely started,
or skimmed through books laying around your house — all begging
for your
attention!
Why did you stop reading? Was it because you didn't find what
you were looking for? Didn't the answers to all of your creative
woes jump out from between the pages? Did the author have some
suggestions or insights that you didn't like?
Whatever the reasons you stopped reading the book(s) that
you made great strains to buy online, download, or travel to
get, there was SOMETHING that attracted you to it in the
first place.
Find out if that SOMETHING goes beyond the whimsical cover,
the seductive jacket text, or the author's popularity. You
needed SOMETHING from that book, and if it's there,
you will only find it if you read it all the way through.
Finish that book. You might only be a page or two away from
the SOMETHING you needed to propel you forward. •
