Do You Desire to Create? Don’t Deprive the World of Your Gifts!
If you desire to create, please find a way to create.
The world needs more creatives in it.
The world progresses via creativity. Whether it’s the arts or sciences — creativity and all that it might produce expands human knowledge, grows our understanding within and without, and changes the world for the better.
Sadly, there are too many things that knock creativity today. The need to conform and be “normal” tends to shunt creative types to a place of being abnormal and odd. Seeking to enjoy work through creativity as part of life is scoffed at by far too many.
This is not just about art. Anyone who is an inventor, scientist, teacher, explorer, or other creative pursuer tends to get more disrespect than praise. We give more gravitas to opinionated celebrities, athletes, and politicians than teachers, scientists, and genuine intellectuals.
There are too many messages about the starving artist, work being dull and uninteresting, do/be what is expected by the majority, and the like. Why create when you are discouraged from creating in all sorts of ways?
Do you desire to create? If so — you should create. Don’t deprive the world of your gifts. The world needs your creativity.
