I'm often astounded at how many wonderfully creative young people forget to stay creative as they get older. Why do people stop drawing? Why do people stop singing? Why do people stop playing?
When we leave artistic gaps in our lives those voids are filled with content we may not have chosen. When we stop creating art we lose a part of ourselves that is meant to help with our happiness. Trying to solve problems without bringing out our inner artist is likely to doom us to rather pedestrian solutions.
We can do better than that.
We can stay creative. We can play. We can keep drawing, painting, collaging, sculpting, dancing, singing...we can keep our inner artist alive and help it thrive.
The art of problem solving is in staying curious, creative, and open to change.
The art of living is keeping our inner artist alive.
What wonderfully creative act can you play with today?
Go ahead. See how much it helps you in your centered problem solving!
