Creativity is the cornerstone of the blogging business. To express oneself creatively is a privilege. The fact that we have others read or view our creative output is gratifying. Creativity is fun! I love to sit down at my computer or get clippings for my vision board and create my own personal view of the world. I’m glad that you’re here to share it with me!
“Creativity is intelligence having fun.” – Albert Einstein
“The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” – Sylvia Plath
“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” – Maya Angelou
The first quote by Albert Einstein is what it’s all about. Creativity is intelligence having fun and whole lot of fun it can have! Just think of the possibilities. I mentioned two things in the paragraph above: blogging and vision boards, but there are so many others. You can paint, sculpt, write, sing, or act. The list is endless for self-expression.
The second quote is the antidote to creativity: self-doubt. Self-doubt inhibits freedom which in turn inhibits creativity. With self-doubt, the creative process stops. You are no longer free to express the beautiful person that you are. This quote is by American poet Sylvia Plath who wrote prolifically during her short life. If you know her story, you will know why she was perhaps an authority on self-doubt.
A more upbeat quote is by Maya Angelou who says that we cannot use up our creativity because the more we use, the more we have. How splendid! I love this declaration because when I’m searching for inspiration, I find that when I get inspired, it keeps going and going. If I stay static, so does my creativity. Ms. Angelou was an extraordinary poet and writer so she certainly knew about the creative process!
Get creative!
