Creativity

I have been thinking a lot lately about the creative side of each of us. Before you check out and say, "I'm not creative" hear me out. The Creator made us in His image and He created everything. Therefore, within in each of us we have the ability to be creative and to express areas of our lives in different ways. I find myself with many ideas and not necessarily able to figure out how to get it out of my head and into a new form. I have been trying to find the way to get it out, so today I asked those whom I respect how they get their ideas out either onto paper, canvas or through an instrument. The advice I got is to just start and realize I don't have to be perfect the very first time. Another words, many rough copies will begin to produce the image in my head and make it more clear each and everyday.

Some of you may use the other excuse that you don't have the time or your ideas come at the wrong time. It's okay to take a quick minute write down the picture or idea and continue where you're at! This is especially helpful when you are at work and don't have the time to dwell on the thought process. I'm going to challenge each of you to spend a little time asking the Creator to show you your creative side! Don't be afraid to challenge yourself to try something new it is a great way to take an adventure and never leave home! I'm working on a project right now so I'll take a picture to show all of you when I get it finished with my latest inspiration!

so who were the people you asked this question of? I don't remember you asking me? Listening is a great way to become creative. There is someone talking to you. His name is GJHS.
