The Original…

“Creativity, as has been said, consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know.  Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted.” ~ George Kneller; portrait painter.

How many times during the day you have the opportunity to be yourself as you are, flawed, free, without embarrassment, without feeling self-conscious, but instead you fall into the trap of the ego and you shrink before a challenge or a situation…??  How much more time do you need to finally take the opportunities life throws at you and engage socially, or start your business, or begin writing that book, or do what you always wanted to do…??

There is no excuse for staying in your comfort zone and lose all the chances to free your human spirit into expression, because you are unique, deep inside you know this; but there is that embarrassment or fear which is created by allowing your ego to cement and rule your life, to poison your mind and spread throughout your whole body.

See, being yourself, being unique is gold, is really a rare and expensive treasure nowadays; society has designed all these ways of getting comfort and settle in the life you have now, instead of pushing people forward to become better and elevate themselves.
But in order to be yourself then, you must distance your mind from all these comforts which are not healthy for your development as a human being–that is, smoking, drinking, doing drugs, gossiping, blaming everything on others, praying to some pathetic god outside of you, belief in what they call patriotism, and so on and so forth.

Being yourself and expressing your creativity in many ways is an outlet to leave all the garbage from the outside and embrace the gold shining inside.
Do this then, and your bliss will be constant.  This is my own experience.
