“I’m not creative.”

I hear that all the time from students and even from some of my clients when I read.

Being creative means having the power to create, having original thought, original expression, and imagination. Dare I say it, being creative is like being God. Maybe that is why some people have such a hard time with the word or even the action of creating.

The truth is that God is within us, and therefore, we are all God-like, mini-Gods in a way. If we are God-like then we are all creators. If we are all creators, we are by definition, “creative.”

We create each and every day with our thoughts, our feelings, and our intentions. We create what we don’t want as much as what we do want. Even my students who are professing, “I’m not creative,” are actually creating and defining who they are in that moment.

Creative people are just those who create with intention and relish in the moments of creation, loving it, passionate about the journey, the creative process, and open to the possibilities in life.

We are all creative.
