WHERE DO YOU GO FOR YOUR CREATIVITY?



So, where do you go to find your creativity?



Can you find it in a pile of rocks? Will you allow yourself enough time to play and create? Is it a balancing act that seems to defy gravity and logic?

If you can't see the sun for the clouds that are in your way, do you rise above it all so that you can be in the light?
Creativity is something that can't be forced, but you can help it along so that you're able to break through the clouds and start tapping into your creativity.
Just like the rock statue that was created out of the pile of hundreds of rocks, creativity takes time and a bit of imagination. Sometimes it will involve withstanding some heat and maybe even a little grouchiness from others around you that don't understand that creativity does take time.
And just like the ride up through the clouds, it can be a bit bumpy as you white knuckle it during the ride. In the end it's worth it though. The quiet peace that surrounds you as you drink in the beauty and calm helps to melt away the fear that was felt on the climb to be in the light.

Once you let yourself go and allow the creativity to flow, you might be surprised as to what you discover. Sometimes we rush so fast through life that we don't stop to see the creativity that we have springing up within ourselves.
In the next few weeks I hope to share some simple exercises that can be done to help you discover your hidden creative talents, or rediscover what you might have thought was lost.
All of us need a little encouragement and support from time to time.. Even the teacher, the CEO, the King, Queen or President all need encouragement. I don't care how much a person makes, as the money doesn't give them everything. Sometimes being in charge not only carries a lot of responsibility, but it can also carry some loneliness. With so many others looking to the leaders for answers, very few will take the time to say "thank you" or be encouraging.

So there you are, a short blog telling you that I will write more..
I will leave you with a challenge..
Study my photos and write something creative about one of them. If you would like to share, please post what you have written in the comment section. Please remember that children can read this, so keep that in mind when you are posting..
Thank you and hugs!
