Increase Creativity A-Z – V Is For Valid- 5 Reasons Why Yes What YOU Create IS Important!

One of the major reasons why we don’t create as much as we like is we question whether we have the right to, or if it’s “valid” enough.

Do any of these doubts sound familiar to you?

“Who am I to create anyway, when there’s so many talented artists in the world?”

“My work isn’t good enough, I’m not a REAL artist anyway.”

“I’m just messing around, it’s not PROPER creating.”

Stop right there with all that negativity!

Here are 5 of the most important reasons why what you create IS valid, valuable and in fact ESSENTIAL:

1. Creating makes you a more balanced person. Creating is a core part of your personality and make up. You need to be able to express yourself, connect with and relate to the world through creating. When you create you’re a calmer, happier, more balanced person. Great for you, great for everyone else.

2. Your influence is wider than you may think. When you create, people notice. Even if your work’s not widely on display, when people know you create it sends a strong message that it’s OK to create! Because of your creative efforts, many others are inspired to create to. It happens everyday, even if you don’t directly hear about it.

3. Creating leads to new connections and friendships. Yes creating in many forms can be a solo activity. But think of all the opportunities for creative collaborations. Then all the hundreds of thousands of groups, clubs, societies and websites built around people sharing their love of creativity. By creating you become a part of that, and make a difference.

4. Creating is one of the best ways of understanding yourself. Though you may create to communicate with others, ultimately each time you create, it brings you closer to knowing yourself. The more you know and understand yourself, the more easily you can create, as well as find your place in the world.

5. What right have you NOT to share your talents with the world? Whatever your beliefs, you’ve been given the talents you’ve been given for a reason. What right have you to not make use of those, and to not share them with others to inspire and stimulate THEIR creativity?

These are just 5 of the most compelling reasons why what you create is valid and important.

So put aside those doubts and complaints, get creating right away and make the world a better place!
