creativity: the unofficial fifth part of the alignment equation
Creativity has been the unofficial fifth component of the important alignment in pursuing your authentic life: spirit, mind, body, and money AND creativity.
I’ve talked about the importance of expressing your creativity, connecting to your Inner Creator (which we all have in us), and most recently, connecting how our creativity is part of what makes us unique compared to the rest of the world since the early days of these Daily Notes. In fact, the only personal restriction I’ve put on the Daily Notes is that they have to relate to the authentic life, spirit, mind, body, money, and creativity–it’s always been an important part of what we should be focusing on in our lives.
After last week’s Keep Pursuing talk about our unique gifts and talents, I anticipate creativity becoming a more common topic in the Daily Notes and other content I create–it’s not going to be the primary focus, but I don’t think I’ve given enough attention to how creativity can help you live a life more aligned with your authentic Self.
One reason I want you to think more about your creativity is highlighted by this quote from Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act,
“If you have an idea you’re excited about and you don’t bring it to life, it’s not uncommon for the idea to find its voice through another maker. This isn’t because the other artist stole your idea, but because the idea’s time has come.”
If you’re not used to tapping into your creativity, you might miss out on bringing an idea to life (not always a business idea) that could change your life.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
