Created to be Creative
Inspiration comes in many forms and influence us in varying ways.
Is there someone that comes to mind when you think about who inspires or moves you? For me, there are people who inspire me and I want to be more like them. However, there seems to be more inspiration for me when I see beauty, go through experiences, or recall a memory that makes my heart feel something.
I have dreams, some that I work toward and some that I push down because the likelihood of realizing that dream is too far from reality. Even as I type this, I keep thinking “don’t push the dreams away, keep striving and keep dreaming”. So, then I go back to, what is it that will inspire me? How do I keep dreaming when things seem so far away? Why do so many people seem to have such a passion for things and they are excited about them? Those of you who really know me, know that I love to cut-up and just have a great time; but I also am one to feel things and probably even overthink things. For a while now, I have found myself in a place where I want to really dig into the things I enjoy and not overthink how do I get from point A to point B. Just “be” in the moment. What I’ve found is that when I slow down, stop thinking about things too much, that I end up finding out more about myself and what I enjoy; this is when I find I am most inspired.
I enjoy art. I enjoy sewing. I enjoy music. I enjoy musicals. I enjoy reading. I enjoy bike riding. I enjoy writing. I enjoy being challenged to figure out how to do things, or components needed for website design, etc. I really enjoy pencil sketching. I enjoy my grandchild. I enjoy adventures and seeing new things. I enjoy family. I enjoy… When I think about it, I find inspiration by just thinking about the things I enjoy and just doing them! I feel the excitement inside my being knowing I am doing something I want to do.
I like to create experiences, moments of time that I don’t want to forget. I like to be creative and enjoy artistic expressions, especially in art. Yes, I am inspired to keep being inspired by things in my life that I enjoy. To keep dreaming and stepping one foot in front of the other to accomplish dreams. To feel life through each experience and artistic expression.
PERHAPS I WAS CREATED TO BE CREATIVE
