Typically creativity is viewed as a mystery. Where does it come from? How can we call upon it when we need it? Do I have enough? How can I get more? In his positive, can-do way, Ilchi Lee, in this poem from a lecture, describes the power and process of true creativity. There is no mystery. Creativity is in our control.
One of humanity’s big joys is that of creating.
Those with a small power for creating easily get frustrated when facing difficulties.
They can’t see there is hope.
Those who’ve made up their minds to create better lives
no matter how difficult a situation they might have,
and those who know that the power of creating comes from inside,
never get discouraged with hardships or difficulties.
They move forward boldly with their own standards and plans.
What we should not forget is
the fact that true creativity
comes from will and vision of our life.
When things don’t go as we want,
we need to have time to review our ‘will’ with our mind emptied
instead of only focusing on methods of resolution.
