Flame of creativity
-------------------
Sometimes people create something, like writing a text or
drawing or painting, and when we read or look at the work, we
can see the flame of their creativity through their work.
In his wonderful book "The Majesty of Calmness", William
George Jordan writes:
Man cannot escape for one moment from
this radiation of his character
What ever we do, we are constantly radiating our character,
our personality.
Some people radiate their flame of creativity, sometimes just
a small glow-in-the-dark, sometimes a retina-piercing bright
flame. These people are Real Artist.
The rest of us
--------------
But how about the rest of us? Not everybody carries that
artistic flame, not even a glow-in-the-dark. We have no
control of this, it is how we are born.
We can of course, still create. We won't radiate that
flame, we will radiate something else.
Just create
-----------
It is always better to create.
Whether it is a written text, or a drawing, a painting, of even
a photo. Like Dan Norris writes:
Understand that you have two choices:
to create something or consume something
Not everything has to be a masterpiece.
Being a writer or having a book published
-----------------------------------------
I once read that there are people who love to write, and there
are people who would like to have a book published.
The first kind is about the joy of creating.
The second kind is about being able to brag.
This, of course, applies also to other ways of creating, like
drawing, painting, and so on.
So, just create.
Don't create for an audience.
It doesn't matter if people will read it, or look at it.
You create just for the pure action of creating.
Relax
-----
Just relax. Relaxation is the portal to creativity.
Relax more, and you will be able to create more.
Create more, and you will be more relaxed.
