WHY should you bother to make things? If it doesn’t make any money, have an audience, or save the world, isn’t it just a waste of time? “Unused creativity is not benign. It metastasizes. It turns into grief, rage, judgement, sorrow, shame.” “There’s no such thing as creative people, and non-creative people. There are only people who use their creativity and people who don’t. Unused creativity doesn’t just disappear. It lives within us until it’s expressed, neglected to death, or suffocated by resentment and fear.” We are MADE to create life, energy, change. “Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty.” -Dieter Uchtdorf What if you’re not the “creative” type? Chances are if you’re listening to this, you are, but you might have people in your life who claim that they’re not creative but are actually LYING because creativity is a human skill, not just reserved for artist, makers, or musicians. This week we’re bringing back episode ONE for a refresh for those times when you feel like giving up.
