To be a creative person is to be a loving person.\u00a0 Creating is a loving act.\u00a0\u00a0 When you create, you share yourself with others.\u00a0 To create is to love.<\/p>\n

Whether it be writing, acting, singing, dancing, sculpting, painting, and so on – many people long to create in some way, sharing themselves and their passion with the world. \u00a0And yet, many are afraid to do so.<\/p>\n

Are you such a person?\u00a0 If so, you may feel as though you have a beautiful message buried deep within your heart that you long so desperately to share,\u00a0 but fear doing so because it would inevitably involve opening up your heart and exposing it to the world, making you vulnerable. \u00a0…Vulnerable to what, exactly?<\/p>\n

Creating is like being in love.\u00a0 When you love someone, you open yourself up.\u00a0 You show your true self.\u00a0 You expose your heart.\u00a0 Sure, there\u2019s the potential of experiencing pain. \u00a0You might experience rejection. \u00a0You might get into an argument.\u00a0 The other person might desire other experiences outside of you, wanting something you cannot offer. \u00a0Your ego might suffer. \u00a0Either way, when all is said and done, you\u2019re still left having loved.\u00a0 True love does not bend with the remover to remove.\u00a0 No one can take that away from you.<\/p>\n

If you close and protect yourself out of fear of experiencing pain, you\u2019ll simultaneously close and protect yourself from experiencing the pure joy and beauty of love. \u00a0This same sense of joy and love can be experienced when you share yourself and your creations with the world.<\/p>\n

When you create, you open yourself up.\u00a0 You communicate and express a message from deep within.\u00a0 You bare your mind, heart and soul, wearing your desires, hopes and dreams on your sleeve.\u00a0 Sure, there\u2019s the potential of getting hurt.\u00a0 You might \u201cfail\u201d.\u00a0 Your message might be misinterpreted, or not come through at all.\u00a0 You might screw up and make mistakes, singing a wrong note, or taking a wrong dance step.\u00a0 You might not adequately express yourself and your message.\u00a0 You may receive harsh criticism. Your ego might suffer. \u00a0\u2026And when all is said and done, either way, you\u2019re still left having created.\u00a0 No one can take that away from you.<\/p>\n

Why deny yourself and others the joy of sharing yourself and your message with the world?<\/p>\n

Share and create love in your life and in the lives of others.<\/p>\n

The world needs to hear your voice. \u00a0Don\u2019t be afraid to sing.<\/p>\n
