creativity
Creativity is indefinable. So you invert it.
It is not something you do. It’s not something you have or don’t have.
Creativity is who you are. The real you, not the mental you.
Some people understand this intuitively. Some people don’t get it at all.
It’s not that some people are creative and others just aren’t. It’s that some people are tuned into it while others lost it.
The creative realm is strange and mysterious. It’s illogical. It makes no sense. It’s a world of paradoxes.
You try to find it and it eludes you. Like trying to view an atom. The second you look, it’s gone.
Creativity is best accessed by realizing it’s not “you” pulling the strings.
There is no writer’s or artist’s block. There’s nothing in the way aside from yourself.
When you get out of the way, creativity flows without bounds.
It’s a skill you can work on, but it’s all indirect. The world teaches you one way and creativity is the opposite. It isn’t going to be taught.
It feels more like it’s beaten out of you instead. And you have to somehow regain it in adulthood.
That still feels impossible and confusing. But it will make your life better in every way, if you’re open to the challenge.
