Everyone, and that includes you, is inheritably born with the potential for massive creativity.

Yet so many of us say… “I’m not creative”.

Creative diversity has so many potential benefits, yet without it where would we likely be?

• The human race would not be where it is today
• There would be no miraculous inventions like electricity in every home, cell phones, the internet
• Our world would be void of magnificent buildings and structures
• We would lack the capacity to live interesting and meaningful lives
• Problem solving would elude us
• Our minds would be closed and we would not have clarity to properly judge any given situation
• Life would be mundane and NOT fun

What do you think of a world like that? Doesn’t sound very appealing, does it?

The truth is, we are ALL creative – in our own way. Some of us exercise this muscle more than others and appear incredibly creative. While others sit back and watch at a distance and remind themselves of how much they lack creativity.

Anytime you find a new way to work or an easier way to do your chores or tasks, you are exercising your creative muscle. You don’t have to be an artist or a sculptor to be creative or create. A mechanic, farmer, accountant, or store clerk can exercise creativity on a daily basis!

“True creativity, as it reflects our capacity to see or produce something in a new way, represents a restructuring that carries our individual imprint and uniqueness.” ~ Neal A. Maxwell

Isn’t that a great thought! As we exercise our creative muscles, we are magnifying who we are… Who we REALLY are! Our TRUE, UNIQUE, and might I add, AMAZING selves. In whatever capacity we may find ourselves, simple homebody or professional entertainer – it does not matter! We all have magnificent creative power that we can express and magnify!

Let’s look at this scientifically. When we study physics, we learn that the first law of thermodynamics is that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but is changed from one form to another.

What does that mean to you? It means that when you express your creative energy, you are giving the energy that is within you an outlet! Your energy is changed to a new form, it is redirected into a more positive energy!

Wow!

In a nutshell, creating is essential to growth and happiness. It is a positive energetic outlet. It is paramount to finding and experiencing joy. We have each been endowed with the gift of infinite creativity. It is within us. Perhaps it is somewhat dormant, but we can choose to embrace it and let it flourish within and without.

Let today be the day you embrace your inherent gift and begin to exercise your creative muscle.
