Dancing With The Creativity Devil - A Lesson In Being Yourself

I'd be absolutely filthy rich if I had one cent for every time that I've heard the words that creativity doesn't pay the bills or some variant of the same.

What if I was to tell you that this is completely incorrect? A lie? A fallacy? An urban myth?

You'd think I was crazy wouldn't you?

Well, guess what. Crazy I is.

In a world where there is so much competition, in every career, in every endeavor in absolutely every way, your chances of getting noticed are next to nothing if you follow the same line, the same footsteps and do exactly the same thing as everybody else. To be noticed in this crowd you have to be unique. To be unique is a simple matter of being yourself. To get noticed for your excellence while being yourself, you need to be creative!

Being creatively unique will allow you to shine your light on the world, a light that leads straight back to you and no one else.

So don't allow yourself to be weighed down by any type of conventional anchor or to follow the herd. Have the courage in your own self to be creative. Don't fear to dance with the devil. Pick the song, grab his hand and twirl away.

Being known for being who you truly are will lead to a world of opportunities opening up in your life. Don't fear the unknown, that's where your destiny lies.

It constantly amazes me how the thing that should be the most simple to achieve in this world, being ourselves, has turned into being one of the hardest to achieve. We have been conditioned, or more accurately brain-washed into thinking and believing that if we are not all the same, cut from the same cloth and molded by the same sculptors then we are obviously just not good enough.

I'm here to tell you that honestly, think about the people that you admire. The ones you look up to.

How many of them are living their lives like everyone else or are they forging their own path and living their lives on their terms?

You may well be admiring them now but somewhere along the line of their lives they looked around them and said - 'Nope. I won't be another follower! Let others follow me instead!'

So take the plunge on creativity and your own uniqueness. Don't fear the devil. Take his hand, pick a song, put your dancing shoes on and do the samba!

My crazy world has included successfully combining all the skills of a artist, photographer, designer, programmer, and marketer into one crazy life.

I'm available for guest blogging, article writing and speaking events.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
