Creativity

I think one of the most fascinating processes inside a human being is the process of them expressing something in the form of art. The very act of creating something from within.

When we are creative, what we are doing is that we are taking the blueprint that we have inside us and make it into something that is more real. We take the most basic emotions and make something tangible out of them.

For musicians, this type of creativity is usually channeled into creating lyrics for the songs and then playing the music to them. For artists it is the images, the paintings, the photographs that express this blueprint that they are feeling so strongly inside them.

And we can never really feel good about ourselves if we are not creative in some way. Being able to create and doing it on a consistent basis is what gives us a more sustainable sense of inner self-esteem.

We usually tend to feel successful to the degree that we are able to fulfill this creative potential and to create what struggles to come out in one way or another. It's like giving birth to a baby. When pain transforms into pleasure and then into something beautiful..
