"True service: here is the gift of my efforts, no matter what happens."

This is so good, George. All of it. I also love how you've broken it down into inner creativity/express and outer service. I so much relate to all of this.

Good to see you here, as always, and happy new year!

Thank you for the message! It makes perfect sense. “Everything has been created but this is the first time I’m doing it”. I found you through your books then discovered you here!

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I've had a substack for months. And I have 9 followers. I've been discouraged and so I stopped writing. I'm going to "Create Lightly" today. Thanks!

Keep creating (lightly)! And keep sharing your Substack creations elsewhere, so that more of your connections discover your Substack :)

Thank you, George. Expression and the possibility of touching someone. It's so clear how you make this easy for us, to simply write. I just started on substack, and you give me great courage to just continue, for the delight of learning, trusting creativity, unattached to the outcome.

I have to listen again but it resonated- said in such a straightforward way- so honest to say publishing and posting videos don’t support financially in the way service work does (coaching, facilitating etc.) - I’d like a middle path where I write at a level meaningful to me but not perfectionistic- can definitely post video and audio more often and more lightly- you’re a lovely person! Feel better!

thank you Valerie! Yes to writing meaningfully and letting go of "polish" because if it's going to resonate with your audience, it'll do well even if not perfect. En-joy :)
