The Secret Of Creative Happiness? Do What Works, Do What Matters
So, do you know the secret to creative happiness? What will make you more creative and more happy than you’ve ever been before?
The secret is…
There is no secret!
There’s not a single “one-size-fits-all” solution to being highly creative and happy that any of us can just plug right into and be instantly full of joyous energy.
Each of us who create have our own unique set of creative talents.
Yes, unique. As in one of a kind. No-one else is exactly like you. So no-one else can show you exactly what will make you highly creative and happy.
But here’s the good news.
There are plenty of guidelines you CAN follow that will help. There are many things common to those who have found a deep level of peace and happiness in their creative work.
Here are the two essential parts to put in place to get you closer to those kind of feelings in your creative life:
1. Do What Works. The key to abundant creativity is experimenting and finding the best routines, mediums, techniques and tools that work for you.
Whatever stage of creativity you’re at in your life, there will have been times in the past where you’ve created and it’s flowed beautifully, you’ve enjoyed the creative process and also been pleased with the outcome.
Take a close look at these times and find the elements that were in place that led to such creativity. Then use them more!
Then there will also have been periods where creating was much more difficult and a struggle rather than something you enjoyed. Again, look at these times and the factors that caused the difficulties. Then take steps to eliminate them as much as possible.
2. Do What Matters. However creative you might be, if you’re churning out creative projects that mean very little to you, where’s the purpose and enjoyment in that?
Is it not better to create one project in the next month that you absolutely love creating, than 20 in which you’re just going through the motions without any real passion or feeling?
Think about what it is you REALLY want to create. Then, put aside whatever anyone else might say about it, and answer again – What do you REALLY want to create?
Unless you create what matters to you, it’s likely to always be a pleasant distraction at best, and at worst a soulless production line type affair. Be honest with yourself, and create only what truly matters. You owe it to yourself and the world.
