Creativity is inherent in all of us from "summary" of The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron
Creativity is a force that exists within each and every one of us. It is not reserved for the select few who are deemed “artists” by society. No, creativity is a birthright that we all possess, regardless of our occupation or background. It is a fundamental aspect of being human, like breathing or dreaming.
When we deny our creative impulses, we are denying a vital part of ourselves. We are stifling our inner voice, the voice that longs to express itself and be heard. This suppression can lead to feelings of restlessness, dissatisfaction, and even despair. We may find ourselves wandering through life aimlessly, wondering why we feel so unfulfilled.
But when we embrace our creativity, we are tapping into a wellspring of inspiration and vitality. We are reconnecting with our true essence, the part of us that is unbound by limitations or expectations. This is where the magic happens, where ideas flow freely and possibilities abound. It is a place of pure potential, waiting to be explored and unleashed.
Creativity is not about being the best or the most original. It is about expressing ourselves authentically and without fear. It is about being open to the process, rather than fixating on the end result. When we approach creativity in this way, we are free to experiment, to make mistakes, and to learn and grow from our experiences.
So let go of your doubts and insecurities. Embrace the creative spirit that resides within you, waiting to be set free. Allow yourself to play, to explore, to create without judgment or self-criticism. Remember, you are a vessel of infinite potential, capable of bringing forth beauty and wonder into the world. Trust in your creativity, and watch as it transforms your life in ways you never thought possible.
