I like this article a lot.

Whenever someone tells me they are “not creative” I suggest they put a big glowering frown on their face and stomp their way through the day, and then look at what they created. They get the point quickly. We create all the time.

Best to do it intentionally from our inner wellspring of inspiration instead of by random unthinking accident driven by our fears and traumas.

“What a profound universe we live in.”

Monica, that deserved repeating. Thank you.

Hi John,
I finally have a moment to say Hi and reread your article!
I love what you say about asking “what if.”
This little question has completely baffled me while serving me well!
Although I normally ask by saying “how can I..” I am in awe at the creative flow that arrives almost immediately after asking. What a profound universe we live in.
Best wishes!

Vered and Writer Dad, I think you’ll both agree that we are more complete when we consciously explore our creative nature, and it is different for each of us.

Even people with a strong analytic side, as you Vered, find that creativity can compliment that side. Some of the best artists are highly analytical. They use it to control and guide the technical aspects of their chosen creative pursuit. We need both.

And Writer Dad, you get to pass that influence on to your children. What a gift to give!

A year ago, I would never have thought of myself as creative. Now, I cant believe what I was thinking.
