Creativity is an infinite bucket of Fun; a Crackling Thunderbolt of a word that we associate with famous Artistic Types, but tend to deny when we think of ourselves. Many of us have had our ‘Creative Identity’ pounded out of us by ‘Crabby’ perfectionists who think that artistic & financial success are the only benchmarks to measure whether you’re Creative or not. But I’ve got news for them: There are NO Metrics to measure Creativity, because it is the essential ground of our ‘being’ – in other words, Creativity is what makes us beautifully and infinitely, human.
‘The Art of Creativity’ is really ‘The Art of Living.’ It is the Joybringer, the divine spark hidden in everything you think, feel and do, and a way to move in the world with power, grace and passion.
With this statement in mind, we’ll explore what ‘The Art of Creativity’ is; how it works in our lives; and why it’s essential to living a magnificent life. Check out any Social Network and you’ll see the Information Age’s version of The Renaissance blossom in every Post, Tweet, Pin, and Instagram. I don’t know about you, but I’d rename this era: ‘The Age of Creativity.’
