The Creative Urge

Engaged with all that we must do, we often ignore the silent secret urge of Creating.

Be it about creating a business, creating an art work, creating a family, creating a nation or creating a shared experience — this essence of creation, the creative spirit, is undeniably what’s at the core of anyone who ever looked deeper within.

The only question is whether it finds expression or it fades in the background? If you can express, should you express? If you should, then what to express.

With expression comes the ability to impact others with our experience. So naturally, it’s important to look at where our expression comes from. If we focus our attention on the seat of experience, and deepening the experience, the consequential expression is also going to be impactful.

A deeply expressed painful memory, should it not be expressed? Well, it’s a personal matter of everyone, but I just believe that it’s in the best interest, that if we are given a capability to express, our expression must positively impact the world. Otherwise, it’s better to hold on, and to work on the inner self, before a premature expression.

What we create, is in some way a piece of our own selves. The beauty of a business, a book, an art work, an architecture marvel is also the fragrance of the experience that led to it.

Otherwise, there’s no lack of work in the world that is surface, mundane, lifeless.

So what are you going to create?
