Many people say they’re not creative because they can’t draw a stick figure (or anything else) to save their life. A lot of high-ticket artwork looks like some artists have that same problem. The reality is, we’re all highly creative. We’re born artists. 

Everyone has the same powers that professional artists have. Dreams, imagination, intuition, and emotion all speak from the seat of the soul. The heart is our inspiration. 

If you have a heart, you’re creative. Like anything else, art takes practice to feel comfortable, to let go, and to sink into your unique flow. Most of us don’t take the time to hone this, or worse, we close our heart to its full potential. 

As the language of the soul, the arts communicate through form, color, energy, emotion, and beyond visuals into music, poetry, food, and architecture.  Each expression brings to the forefront not only areas of sensitivity but a superpowered inspiration to catalyze change. 

The challenge is getting quiet enough inside to listen, then playing spontaneously through self-expression to free the wild child… the inner artist. 

That creativity is at the root of all discovery - science, medicine, technology, entertainment, sports, and everything else. The proven data comes later after our dreams inspire the work that brings it into being. 

Life itself is art in motion, with so many tools available. Meditation fuels our inner fire. Journaling, energy work, dancing, our senses, and nature… these are only a few of the other options.  There’s so much tinder just waiting for the connection to bring our dreams to light.
