Creativity is Our Birthright
Manage episode 396964537 series 3449325
Solo Podcast! Hear me talk about creativity from a spiritual perspective- and share an original song on my shruti box..!
There’s a story many folks tell, that you’re either born a creative person, or, you’re not.
It’s a story I don’t believe.
I believe creativity is our birthright– it’s just that some people choose to access it, and some people don’t.
Many folks think being creative means you have to be skilled at artistic expression. I prefer a broader understanding of the word- creativity is the capacity to create- a capacity we all carry.
Many folks refer to God as the Creator with a capital C to acknowledge that God created all things. Folks also like to acknowledge that we were made in the likeness of God. Doesn’t it make sense then, that we are creators too?
And if we are creators, then naturally we are creative people!
And yet, many people feel cut off from their capacity to create. As if God forgot to give them that gift.
Buying into that narrative not only robs people of the magic of the creative arts, but also denies people of the magic they possess to create the lives they want. Instead, they take a passive role in their lives, waiting for something to happen and eventually settling for a life that feels unfulfilled and unsatisfied. Many people don’t even realize there’s another way.
When we choose to believe the story that we are all born creative creators ready to create then we get to dive into the world of creating and creativity!!!
In that world, we get to play in the arts, letting go of the constraints of being labeled ‘good’ or ‘bad’ at them, and instead, savoring the joy of the creative process.
In that world, rather than waiting for life to happen we can be intentional about creating the life we want. We can connect with our desires, imagine what’s possible, take inspired action that aligns with that vision, and allow our desired experiences to flow in.
And that’s what Creator with a capital C wants for us – to recognize ourselves as the creators we are, and start creating the lives we desire.
I love helping my clients access their creativity and apply it to the way they approach their lives. If this sounds interesting, contact me and we’ll talk about what’s possible.
