I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be creative lately. Whether creative people engage in the act of being creative daily, hourly or is it a once in a while thing.

I am one of those people who definitely believes that we’re all born creative. It’s a small little spark that we somehow lose on our journey into adulthood and the very few and very brave are those who continue to be creative well into bill paying, car fixing, laundry and whatever else goes into being an adult.

Now you might be reading this and think I am probably one of those people who has had the creativity beaten out of me seeing as how much I am romaticising creativity. And you’d be right and wrong. Right because I am an accountant and creativity in my line of work gives you Enron and not so much of the good stuff. And you’d be wrong because it’s not been beaten out of me yet, I am still here and I have time to work on my disciplined pursuit of creativity.

Lately I’ve been wondering how long one needs to commit to creativity to truly tap into the deepest of deep creative wells, is it daily? Is it monthly? Is it when the moon is full and the night sky inviting? I don’t know, but I am here and I am willing to find out.

I’m here and willing to throw myself under the bus in pursuit of creativity and to put together a life that I can marvel at and think “Wow, I created a masterpiece”.
