On my creative process…

A young man wearing a gray hoodie and a baseball cap, writing in a notebook while standing.

I believe humans naturally exercise creativity. Even if it isn’t a “creative pursuit,” such as painting, writing, music, etc, I believe humans are gifted with spontaneous inspiration and ideas.

In my opinion, it’s simply a matter of channeling and directing this impulse, instead of forcing it into a so-called “creative pursuit.” The most gratifying expression of creativity might be in something that others deem supposedly mundane.

On a related note, I believe full creative expression often entails being true and authentic, even if others don’t necessarily approve of your expression.

  1. Love this reframe, creativity as something we all already carry, not something reserved for painters and writers. Refreshing perspective.

  2. I agree!

  3. Oh I couldn’t agree more with this!

  4. When we appreciate a glowing sunset, dancing on the beach at night, cuddling with a loved one, the laugh of a child or just the autumn leaves drifting in the street, those too are creative, even if we don’t frame the experiences and share them with others.
