What are you creating this week? Elizabeth Gilbert kickstarts today’s journey with a reminder that we are all Fearless Creators, sculpting our world with every breath –
“Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.” – Elizabeth Gilbert
“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.” – Elizabeth Gilbert
“A creative life is an amplified life. It’s a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner—continually AND STUBBORNLY bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you—is a fine art, in and of itself.” – Elizabeth Gilbert
“So this, I believe, is the central question upon which all creative living hinges: Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?” – Elizabeth Gilbert
Don’t get stuck in the paradigm that creativity is confined to canvases and manuscripts – that to create means that I have to step back from a painting or a book in order to say, “look I created this!”
We are all creating all the time. How you are “being,” creates your connection to the humans and the world around you, and those hidden jewels are not limited to a talent with a paintbrush or a pen but also the ability to listen, to be organized or simply not to judge this human in front of you who is already being vulnerable.
Organize your cluttered desk with passion, tend to your garden with love, engage in conversations with genuine curiosity – these are the brushstrokes of your unique creative journey, and just a few examples of how your very presence shapes the world around you.
