The Creative Life
You once lived freely, without hesitation, fully embracing your creativity. As a child, you didn’t second-guess yourself. You knew how to create, express, and move in ways that brought you alive. Along the way, something shifted. You became more cautious, more constrained by the demands of life, silencing that natural urge to create.
But you haven’t lost it. Your creativity is still there. It is not only your birthright to create, it is your true nature. It’s not about being perfect or meeting some external standard. You are worthy of expressing yourself through art, movement, and music. The need for approval or perfection is an obstacle, not a guide.
What a creative life demands is that we take risks. Risk-taking isn’t just for the adventurous; it’s for anyone who desires to connect with the deeper parts of themselves. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but that’s where true growth begins. Creativity is a force that doesn’t follow rules. It leads you to surprising places if you allow it to unfold.
Creative risk taking might not turn our life upside down but, rather, might right the drifting ship of our soul. It’s time to stop evaluating whether your creativity makes sense to the world. What matters is that it speaks to you. We are saying yes to the transcendent and embodied presence of the holy. Embrace it. Let your spirit create freely. You are capable of more than you realize.
