To deny your creative impulse is to conspire against your happiness.

Creativity is merely the act of bringing something forth that did not previously exist. Every time you make a meal, make a mess or make amends you employ your creative inclination.

Creativity doesn’t happen to you. It happens through you.

Creativity is fueled by curiosity and powered by imagination. Creativity is “challenge accepted,” coupled with the courage to explore, experiment, and educate your way toward a solution. Creativity is generous and vulnerable. It requires courage. At some point, you and your creation must stand up and be seen or speak up and be heard.Be creative.

Those who have an attachment to the tried and true, and the way things are, are threatened by these impulses and the change they initiate. Which is the very reason why you must cultivate curiosity, courage, and creativity.
