Creativity And The Truth- Are You Having A Love Affair With An Imaginary Mistress?
Posted on March 7, 2008 - Filed Under Self Improvement
Creativity is for life, not just for a mistress. Is that true for you?
Many of us tell ourselves we live a life of great creativity, and are actively creative each and every day. But how honest are we being? Who are we trying to impress?
Think about your creative life for a moment. Which of these two descriptions best describes your relationship with your creativity:
1. The Mistress: My creativity is alluring, exotic and exciting. All the time we spend together is completely thrilling. We run wild together, discover new landscapes, stay up until the dawn, laugh and play and dance until we both fall exhausted and sleep in each other’s arms.
There are never any problems, we never slow down, everything flows perfectly. Me and my creativity are beautiful and flawless and perfect.
2. The Life Long Partner: My creativity and me understand each other. We know our strengths, we trust each other. We’ve achieved many incredible things together by listening to each other’s needs and being open, honest and adaptable. We know how to support each other through the difficult times.
We face each new challenge together, knowing the we’ve come through everything that’s been thrown at us so far, and we can come through this and thrive again.
If you answered that number 1, The Mistress, was how your relationship with your creativity is, then congratulations, it sounds wonderful.
But how honest are you being?
Everyone has creative highs and lows, peaks and troughs. We all have moments of excitement and elation. We all sometimes feel stuck, defeated, dejected, like we’ll never create again.
It’s all part of the cycle, all part of being creative.
There’s no harm in striving for the kind of highs we might have in a new love affair. But be honest with yourself. Stay in reality.
Do you want a short term, idealistic affair with your creativity that’s all over at the first sign of any problems?
Or a strong, long term supportive relationship, built to survive any struggles you have?
If you want to be creative for the rest of your life, then prepare for that. Put the strongest possible foundations in place. Communicate with yourself, learn what works and what doesn’t. There will be struggles, but don’t ever give up, you’ve come through difficult periods before and you will do again.
You and your creativity are together for life.
Accept that, make the most of it, don’t expect it all to be perfect sunshine, and you’ll be all the stronger for it.
