Create.
We all do it. In some way, shape, or form.
I like to create through photography, drawing, and writing. Some people do it through baking or cooking. Still others sew, or knit, paint, or sculpt. But creativity comes in many different sizes. Music is a huge example.
A lot of people are creative in business, or in helping the community. What about people who fix things, like cars, and plumbing and electric? I’ve seen them figure out creative solutions to the tasks at hand.
For sure… you don’t have to wear a little black beret cocked to one side of your head to be creative.
I love to sit and generate ideas, and bring them into actualization on paper. Albeit, most of the time, it is digital paper, but none-the-less. It is just where my brain is happiest.
Science, mathematics, medicine, engineering, and the likes…… all sprout from the creative. Heavy on logic, but equally heavy on innovation.
Albert Einstein once said “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
Yesssindeeeeedy.
As I mentioned, it is where my mind feels gratified and content. I imagine that we all have different places where our brains like to be. But sometimes, other things get in the way. Worry. Stress. Busy-ness.
I guess we can’t stay in our “happy” zones 100% of the time. But wouldn’t it be nice. Yet I think we should probably visit as often as possible. It is most likely good for our well being.
And when our well being is good… we can be good for others.
Sort of like when you are on an airplane, and the door blows off in mid-flight…. and all the little masks drop down out of the ceiling. Yep. You see, you aren’t good to anyone else, unless you first grab your own mask and start sucking oxygen.
So… today. Suck your oxygen. It will make your brain happy.
And we’ll all live happily ever after. That is…. IF the plane lands.
Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact. — William James
