Unleashing Your Creative Gifts
Why now is the perfect time to reconnect with your inner child— No matter your age
I’m convinced age is a state of mind. Nobody ever accused me of rushing into adulthood. If anything, I hurled my insatiably curious, naive, playful inner child into the free world, and it’s been quite an adventure.
Despite several bad choices and detours through hell and back, curiosity and creativity have served me well.
As I embrace the grandfather stage of life, I’ve decided it’s time to write and share a new body of work about creativity—something I’ve had simmering in the Muse Department for years.
It’s about being a rose in bloom and tapping into your creative superpowers.
The Purpose of This Work
We all have a creative gift that gets buried throughout life. Creativity is fueled by human consciousness and curiosity. It’s part of who we are, but most people lose touch with it as they age.
I know because I did.
I’ll never forget the day my father cracked up at something I said. He wiped his eyes through his laughter and said, “Clifford, great line. You’re very creative. That’s a gift.”
