| The Arts & Crafts Of Life
|
You are an artist, whether you think of yourself that way or not. You have your own unique way of doing things, and that means you're creative. And you have your crafts, those things you do on a regular basis to keep your life working.
You may have thought (or been told) that you're not an artist, or that you're not creative, and if so, consider this:
- We are naturally creative as human beings. The two year old playing with mud and sticks in the yard is creating.
- Creativity is simply doing something in your own way, without specifically copying or repeating what's been done before.
- Creativity has nothing to do with impressing or pleasing other people.
- Your art, your craft, might be something you like or don't like, it's still your art and craft. It may or may not impress others...it's still yours.
The question then becomes, how do you feel about your art, your craft? Does it bring you joy? Are you pleased with what you are creating? It's important that you get to the place where you can answer those questions with a resounding "Yes!" Find out how with The Art Of Happiness.
Take the judgment and comparison out of the process, and celebrate the internal process of breaking new ground, charting new territory, and finding new ways to express your natural creativity.
As you begin each day, ask yourself, what will I create today? Make up your brilliant mind to create as much happiness and positive emotion as you can, because that is the fuel you run on.
