One common assumption we make is that we tend to think of people who make art in the \u2018traditional sense\u2019 (music, paintings, books, images, shows) to be considered creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which means if we don\u2019t directly work in the traditional creative disciplines, we typically don\u2019t think of ourselves as creative\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or worse… we think that we don\u2019t have the ability<\/span> to be creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mindset limits us in so many ways because we’re not allowing ourselves to explore<\/strong> the idea of becoming more creative in our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It breaks my heart when I hear people say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “But I’m not creative…”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I just want to grab their shoulders, look them in the eye and tell them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Yes you are! You just don’t know it, because you have the wrong association about the idea of creativity!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The reason why this breaks my heart is because I used to believe I was not creative, so I actually understand where they’re coming from… but more on that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of believing we’re not creative, just because we don’t work in “the arts”… I want to open up your mind so you can see what it means to create<\/em>, so you can approach your work and your life with more joyous vitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creativity is a gift that keeps on giving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s the thing\u2026 human beings are inherently creative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creativity is innate in us. We are the only species on the planet with creative imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s how our society has been built for thousands of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just take a look at everything that exists around you in places you live and work\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everything you know, buy and use in your life has been creatively imagined<\/em> by someone who brought their idea to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That someone is a human being \u2014 no different to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, we all have a primal desire<\/span> to create. Life itself is creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We all have an innate desire to create the life that we want to live, and more people are waking up to the fact that they now have the tools to create a better future<\/strong> for themselves with side hustles and online businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See… creating<\/em> is the human activity<\/span> we enjoy the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just think about it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nobody wakes up in the morning wishing to spend their days like a drone doing the same tasks over and over, fighting fires at work and in our own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We look forward to the moments when we have space in our day to create something new<\/strong> by applying our creativity to better solve the problems we encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n THAT part is what makes our work and our lives interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creativity is the “juice” in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It spices things up and gives us a sense of joy, surprise and satisfaction! That’s why creativity is a gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
