Creativity – Part 2
Is the process of creating important to our existence? Why? What do you think? Perhaps because we, like every one else in the world, were born to create – to express ourselves in our own unique way.
We tend to see an artist as “talented” and set them apart from our own selves. This makes our own creating less important, because we don’t feel “talented”. This becomes a belief and becomes real to us, and creativity becomes something we don’t personally have.
If you are to become creative you must learn to nurture yourself with encouragement while weeding out self criticism – much like you would nurture a young plant. You need to ask yourself: 1)What do you dream of doing? 2) What is your secret desire? 3) What creative thing did you enjoy as a young child? 4) Were you ever interested in painting?
Creativity is letting go of certainties, being open to new possibilities. Take a class – a challenge that will forever benefit you. “Creativity gives the soul life, its vibrancy. Creativity is where your soul wants to sing”….Gwen Fox
