Creative Connections

I spent the first part of my day in Tate Modern. I learned something interesting about Museums over the last few years. Walk through it and scan the work; you will have an energetic draw of those works that align with your inner being. Don't try to analyze and make sense of the works. If out of 200 pieces of art - sculptures, paintings, photography, etc, only two or three pull you in, that's ok. It's how it should be. Spend time with those pieces that draw you in, and be there with them because they will open up treasures within yourself. It will inspire you to be more significant and to do greater. If you get this, it will be a trip well worth it. You don't have to see or connect with everything. You don't have to understand, make sense or take pictures of every piece.

I love it when a piece pulls me in and triggers an emotional response from deep within, sometimes even making my hair stand. Others inspire me to do something to evolve, to draw to paint, and other pieces generate new ideas from the heart and soul.

Rick Rubin discusses this in his interview with Tim Ferriss. He discusses the importance of exploring other forms of artistic expression to bring out our inner wisdom and creativity. We should be inspired to be greater from the place of the heart and soul. It's where real greatness is generated. 

It could be a song, a lyric, a sentence, a poem, a painting, or a film. The forms of potential inspiration are endless. If you don't know where to start, start anywhere. Don't think about it. Go to the theatre, watch a movie, pop into a museum or check out a concert. 

We are all creative beings, but most of us have had our creativity suppressed and told to be practical instead. What is the logical and rational thing to do? Logic and rationality have their place, but they need to take a back seat to creativity right now. We have suppressed who we are so deeply that the only way to unleash it, take the veil off, and unblock it is through external inspiration. Make it your purpose to find your creative connection. It will lead you to finding yourself, being yourself, and loving yourself more than you could ever imagine, inevitably resulting in loving others more deeply. 

You will eventually find a creative connection so deep that it is like gravity is pulling your creative being out from the dark corners, from under the rocks that have fallen on top of it through the avalanches of societal expectations of logic and rationality. You will have no choice but to express your deepest inner self and share your creativity in forms that align with who you truly are. 

Make those creative connections. It's time now. We need you to come out from under the rubble and shine your creative light.
