You are a creator
I’ve been obsessed with beauty and art for as long as I can remember…
however, growing up I always saw myself as an admirer of art, rather than as an active participant.
I used to think that only *some* people were truly creative.
As if they belonged to a unique human species that had been born with special superpowers.
That select group would include the likes of Van Gogh, Virginia Woolf, Le Corbusier, Georgia O’Keefe.
I’d put inspiring people on pedestals as if they had this gift none the rest of us, mere mortals, had.
I built a separation between creative people and… others. Me being part of the latter.
It took some years till I had a full body epiphany that I AM a creator.
We all are.
We have been since before even being born.
We are the actual walking, talking manifestation of CREATIVITY (we were all 2 lil cells that became this complex human - if that’s not the ultimate manifestation of creativity I dunno what is).
Life force, after all, IS creative force. Constantly birthing everything in this universe.
Simply having that flow of energy in your body makes you a creator. (Congratulations! You’re it!)
… Whether we allow that flow to move through us freely or not, that’s another story…
Creativity manifests in all sizes, shapes and forms: romantic novels, yoga retreats, the spatula you used to cook breakfast this morning, relationships, instagram captions, wedding toasts, home-cooked chicken soup, etc.
We are immersed in creativity. Within and without.
Every moment we create with our words.
With our intentions.
With our thoughts.
With our imagination.
With our actions.
With our decisions.
…consciously or unconsciously.
We are, after all, the creators of our reality.
Even though many times we would rather relinquish our creative power in order to not take responsibility for our creation.
Yet, whether you are willing to consciously step into that realisation or not: you are, and will always be, the master creator of your own life.
You get to choose if you will reluctantly and half-heartedly paint every brush stroke or consciously decide to make it your masterpiece.
