Do You View Yourself as Uncreative? Think Again!

We’re all creators

When you think of the word “creative,” what comes to mind?

Painting a picture? Writing a book? Playing an instrument?

All of these are wonderful ways to express yourself while connecting with others (it’s so satisfying to share our creations with others) AND connect with something outside of ourselves — God/source/spirit — whatever you want to call it.

But that’s not the only aspect of creativity.

These are what I would call “creative expressions,” but really, everything we do is creative expression — our words, our actions, our state of being.

Now, I often hear people say, “I’m not very creative.” I’ve even said it at times.

But in truth, we are ALL creators.

And once we embrace and embody this fact, the possibilities are endless.

We now have freedom from expectations — real or imagined. Freedom from the limitations others have placed on us, or that we have placed on ourselves. Freedom from the self-imposed prison of “should”s.

Of course, with freedom comes responsibility. We can no longer blame our discontent on others or outside circumstances.
