Creativity
This is the driving force and the highest form of self-expression. It is the primary pillar as it’s the most fulfilling piece. I believe we were all put on this earth to create, and that doesn’t mean that we are all meant to be artists, but we all have a creative bone in our body. Creating means starting from your thoughts and birthing something the world has never seen in your own expression. For a majority of you out there that very well does come in the form of an art be it photography, design, music, fashion, painting, or anything else of that sort. For others, their creativity resides in other spaces such as building, molding, and shaping businesses. It’s anything really. Creativity really is a mindset and an action that is taken. I’ve coined the term, “Creative Resonance” as the high feeling you get when you get into a flow state and create something you love and are excited about. I believe anyone can find creative resonance if they are practicing the act of creating. Creation ultimately becomes the color of life when one realizes they can create their life by creating every small moment.
