Some don’t think they’re creative.

Since childhood, we’ve been told that creativity is a genetic trait, like the color of our eyes. And if we try to play music, dance or create art without success, that belief locks in. So we give up.

We think we’d be happier if we were more creative but it’s so easy to get stuck in routine and believe we can’t live differently.

We believe imagination and playing are childhood activities we outgrow when we become adults.

Society focuses on achievement, productivity and external success. Who has time for dreaming when every minute in a day counts? And when culture focuses on products, not process, why brainstorm?

We accept it even though we feel unfulfilled.

I have a secret.  Everyone is born creative; we’ve just forgotten how to tap into it. It’s like riding a bicycle or practicing the piano. If you haven’t done it in a long time, it’s easy to forget that you ever could.

You can re-awaken your creativity. The next step is being open to the possibility of change. And believing you are creative.
