Creativity is accessible to all individuals from "summary" of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
Creativity is not something reserved for the select few. It is not a gift bestowed upon a chosen group of individuals while leaving the rest of us out in the cold. It is a birthright. It is a part of our human essence, a fundamental aspect of who we are as individuals. We all have the capacity to be creative, to tap into that wellspring of inspiration that lies within each of us. The idea that only a special breed of people are capable of creativity is a myth that has been perpetuated for far too long. We have been led to believe that creativity is something mysterious and elusive, something that only the "geniuses" among us possess. But the truth is that creativity is not some rarefied quality that only a select few are born with. It is a skill that can be cultivated and nurtured, a muscle that can be exercised and strengthened. So why do we often feel that creativity is beyond our reach? Why do we doubt our own ability to create? Part of the problem lies in our own self-doubt and fear. We are afraid to put ourselves out there, to take risks, to embrace the uncertainty that comes with the creative process. We are afraid of failure, of making mistakes, of not measuring up to some imaginary standard of perfection. But the truth is that creativity is messy. It is not always neat and tidy. It is chaotic and unpredictable, full of twists and turns and unexpected detours. And that is okay. In fact, that is where the magic happens. It is in the messiness and the chaos that we find our true creative selves, where we discover new possibilities and unearth hidden treasures. So let go of your fear and doubt. Embrace the messiness of creativity. Allow yourself to explore and experiment, to play and make mistakes. Give yourself permission to be imperfect, to fail and try again. Because in the end, it is not about being perfect. It is about being true to yourself, about expressing your unique voice and vision in the world. So remember, creativity is not just for the chosen few. It is for all of us. It is within reach, waiting to be unleashed. So go ahead, take that first step. Embrace your creativity and let it shine. And who knows what wonders you might create.
