Making a positive difference in your own life, or in South Africa, or anywhere for that matter, begins with an attitude of self-creativity.
Self-creativity is about walking away from self-destructive thought and behaviour. It’s about turning your mind upside down, so the negativity can fall out, and filling it with creative thought.
However big a personal or group problem is, it can only be solved if you, or every participant, accepts the responsibility to be self-creative. If you’re self-creative, you’re able to do all the things that self-destructive thought stops you doing. You’re able to think clearly, to understand, to be curious, enthusiastic, and you’re able to start loving from a healthy place.
M,
When the world is in chaos, it is a wonder that people go back to poetry reading, and writing.
If we look at history, all the big events in human triumphs are chronicled by great artists – writers and visual artist – painters/photographers.
Recently, in the sept 11 twin tower tragedy – there was an outpouring of poems that greatly helped many victims and the people in general affected by the tragedy to find healing in writing and reading poetry that serve to ease the pain, to soothe the wounded spirits, for poetry serves like a balm that soothes the heart.
Tapping our creative side help us re-connect with our hopeful self – the child within inside our hearts. That’s the reason why creativity could make magic, it makes a difference for us and the people who will be touched by artworks in whatever form that only the language of our souls could fully express and understand.
I wish you well.
