Creativity

Hello creative friends which means everyone!

I am always amazed with the over abundance of creativity that all of you share. It's so inspiring. To all of you-I am inspired daily by your creative talents. I feel creativity is such a big part of our well being, our existance of who we are and what we are.

Everyone is CREATIVE! To hear someone say "I am not creative" always persuades me to argue their point. I feel the word creative involves many aspects of our soul. Everyone has creativity in their soul. I feel we can easily enable that creativity by lack of self confidence in our ability to create.

Creativity should be the freedom of self expression. It is by your rules. It is your creation, you are the artist, you are in charge of your masterpiece. It is awesome to be inspired by someone else, but don't let it cause you to feel inferior of your own abilities and talents.

I find creativity more enjoyable when I am creating something completely by my own thoughts and by my own rules. I say make your own as you go! Feel free! This empowerment does wonders for the soul.

You are CREATIVE! Thank goodness life allows us to improve and grow, to learn, to prosper, to succeed, to fall down and get up. You are creating something right not wrong. You are learning, you are enriching yourself and others around you.


I love this video clip, my favorite! I know many of you have seen it, but it is a wonderful reminder of our abilities to create. You can watch it HERE.
