Unleash Your Creativity - If I Don't Use It Am I Going To Lose It?

There’s a belief held by many that we have all been given a unique set of creative talents and abilities, and it’s our purpose and our quest in life to uncover these talents and put them to best use.

A step beyond this, there’s a further idea held that in fact if you don’t pursue this journey of discovering and using your talents, worse than them just lying there dormant, they may actually start to diminish and decay.

While it’s never too late to rekindle the smouldering embers of your creativity, to a certain extent this idea of “if you don’t use them, you’re gonna lose them” actually has a lot of truth in it.

Your creativity is like a muscle.

And like the rest of your muscles, you can use focused exercise to build and tone them so they’re stronger, more flexible, more lean, efficient and powerful.

This doesn’t happen overnight of course, it takes time and regular “workouts” and exercise.

But that’s OK, because creativity isn’t a whim or a fad, or the latest craze. You create because it’s a core part of your personality and genetic make up. Creating what you create, in the way you create it, is what makes you uniquely you.

Every single thing you create is another tiny piece in the puzzle, another step on the long and winding road to revealing - and living as - the true creative you.

When you become the naturally creative person you can be, everything flows more easily. You start to use your creativity in everything you do, creativity becomes an outlook, an attitude, a way of being and breathing.

Creativity becomes your daily uniform, your second skin, not just an posh outfit you put on for special occasions once or twice a year.

So maybe if you don’t use it you WILL lose it.

But what certainly IS true is the MORE you use your creativity, the stronger, more flexible and more effective it becomes, then the easier it is to create, and the happier you’ll be.

What single step can you take today, before you go to sleep tonight, to show to yourself that you’re ready to adopt this life of creativity?

What can you do to demonstrate you’re committed to putting on that creativity uniform today and wearing it for every day for the rest of your life?

Once you've chosen, take the next step, and put it into action.
