Creativity is not Easy

I had a friend ask me recently if art (Creativity) gets any easier the more you do it and my reactive answer was “no”… which surprised her and myself!

I have been creating virtually every single day of my life since 2009 and I can still remember thinking that this should get easier and easier however, it has not… but do not let that scare you, let that excite you!

As I progress in my art career, and in life, I have realized one big personal truth: life is about growth and pushing the boundaries in what you once thought was your capacity… I can promise you that will lead to a fulfilling life. With that said, as a creative, and more specifically as a creative whose hand is directly creating my art, realizing that their is absolutely No limits to the infinite possibilities of Creativity can be a very daunting realization. Within that knowledge is the the true blessing of Creativity, and ultimately life: anything and everything is possible… learn to love the idea of endless positive possibilities.

Growth, no matter the size, is an uncomfortable process however, this is where life and Creativity becomes Very exciting! Learning to embrace the process of growth will lead you to an infinite number of magnificence breakthroughs in both life and art… the only question is, are you willing to trade momentary discomfort for lifelong fulfillment?

Human Creativity is Capital

The next Renaissance is coming and human creativity is the capital!

The idea of AI growing and replacing more and more jobs is a bit of a concerning notion however, one thing I know for certain is that the appreciation for human created things will Never go out of style and our desire for great experiences in life is limitless. Human made art, movies, music, poetry, dining experiences, clothing, novels, comedy, podcasts, and so much more, will forever be appreciated and sought out.

With that said, if you have a creative impulse, follow and nurture it… money if often the side effect of doing this however, the real gift is the creative process itself.

The understanding and appreciation for the magic of creativity is what will lead to the next Renaissance… and it is already happening :)

Your Mindest is Your Creative Adventure

To artists…

Just Keep Creating!… art is whatever You as the artist Thinks it will be. YOUR mindset about the process/adventure of creating will be either the protagonist or antagonist. If you think it will be a fun adventure, then the joy of discovery, overcoming challenges and triumph will propel you forward… if you think it will be a worrisome trip, then the anxiety of the process will deter you from further creating. Create for the joy of the adventure and you will create things that are very special :) Remember, there are NO wrong answers in art.

This can be very difficult when business is also a factor in your creative career/decisions however, let Creativity guide your business career and you will therefore create a very harmonious business and life :)

Success does not lead to Happiness… Happiness is Success.
