Today's thought is:
Creativity and self-expression are the keys, which open the door to my soul.
--Betty MacDonald
Why do we find it so hard to believe that we are creative and talented? Generally we look upon artists as being far different from us. When we were young, we were encouraged to be ordinary, like everyone else. Those who dared to see the world differently were "weird." Thus our creative juices lay untapped.
But every spirit, by its very nature, is creative and talent-filled. Fortunately, the well of our creative spirits hasn't run dry. We can prime the pump and bring them bubbling to the surface. The first step is to acknowledge our creative potential.
The real gift of this journey is that hope has been inspired in us. We hear the stories of how others have changed and tapped into their creativity. We understand it can happen to us too.
Being willing to have my talents revealed is necessary for it to happen. I will work on willingness today.
