Jealousy, resentment, and excuses...
     Often when folks find themselves creatively blocked these are 3 clear present forces. Have you ever said something like " I could do that, if I just..." or any other derivative of that phrase? One anytime you make an excuse for why you can't do something, really stop yourself becuase constant excuses are self destructive and you should remind yourself that why you do or don't get something done is in your own hands.
My favorite excuse that people give is time. Our lives ultimately consist of nothing but time and it is the one thing you have no control over other than how you spend it. It progresses whether we choose to keep up with it or not.
Now as for the jealousy and resentment, as soon as you have these feeling you should stop because 1. we are all individuals 2. at least those folks are trying to live creatively and as soon as you set the goal to live creatively you will find that those feelings tend to go away
Just be active in any way possible toward your goals and you will find it easier to push away the excuses and negativity.
GO on, get creative.
