  • Creativity is Something We Receive

    Instead of: “What am I going to create?”

    Try: “What is asking to be created?”

    Like dreams, creativity is not fully on our terms. We can’t control the dreams we have at night, and we can’t control when and how inspiration will strike. 

    What we can control is how closely we’re paying attention. When we’re listening and looking for opportunities to be creative, we’re priming ourselves to be open and receptive when unexpected inspiration presents itself. 

    In a creative block, simply living and paying attention can be the most powerful tools at our disposal.
