The process of materializing your creativity is in fact selfish, it is guided by your own intuition, your self-awareness and your imagination but the art that comes from it serves others as much as it is self serving. If we fully give our selves to the creative process we are in turn wholeheartedly giving ourselves to whoever consumes our creativity. That is a selfless act. 

How often do you lean on your creativity during difficult times or to overcome unpleasant emotions? Creativity as therapy gives you more control over how you share your experience and how it is expressed. Creativity is safe and free from judgment.

As much as creativity is instinctively human, our environment, external conditions and circumstances often act as triggers, proof that necessity is the mother of invention. Creativity in many instances takes shape in the form of art, but often times it is the inventor of tools brought about by a need, desperation and other times as a means of survival.

Creativity is energy, and the law of conservation of energy says that energy is neither created nor destroyed. When people use creativity, it doesn't deplete, and unused creativity does not disappear. It is not a case of use it or lose it.

Creativity is innate to us as human beings but we spend our adult life detaching ourselves from it in order to conform to a status quo set by a society that is not intentional about creating creative spaces for us to exist in.
