I consider myself a fairly creative person. But then I go on Pinterest.
We can throw paint on a canvas, carve our names in a slab of wood, and fill up journals with ideas, rants, and realizations. While I consider these creations personally invaluable, they are far from being valued by others.
Respected, maybe. But not valued.
Creativity contains both the mindfulness and skill to combine two or more unimagined pieces. Remember, the melting crayon art? What happens when you cut a marker in half, pour the content into a nearly empty windex bottle, and spray onto the colored side of Tootsie pop wrappers? Just imagine what you can actually do with a slab of wood?
If you want something to pin, you’re going to have to strain your brain and go through the emotional labor it takes to create something, truly create something.
Creating something sounds easy. Give it a try, though, and you will see just how hard it is.
Stay Positive & Respect Is A Good Place To Start
