Why You Need to BE CREATIVE NOW!
Have you always fancied being creative but never quite got around to it? Maybe you’ve always wanted to be a writer or an artist or a sculptor even. Something like that. But things just keep getting in the way. Life happens right?
Well, I’ll tell you what I think you need — and that’s a memento mori.
A memento mori is a reminder that one day we will die.
I know it doesn’t sound very jolly, but our mortality is an important thing to consider now and then. A skull’s a common symbol for this, and some people use something like a calendar as a visible reminder.
On a day-to-day basis, we can feel completely consumed by the mundane. The drudgery gets in the way of the things we really want to do. Maybe you want to write or paint or sculpt, or learn an instrument or write a song, something like that.
Maybe you feel like you just can’t find a moment. Or the world just wants you to shut up! Or maybe you feel you’re too old and, you know, time’s running out.
But even though we know this, how do we find a time to be creative?
