Creativity runs through our veins as naturally as blood. Yet somewhere along the way, many of us lose touch with this essential part of ourselves, believing the creative arts belong only to "talented" individuals. In today's episode, I share a captivating excerpt from Rick Rubin's book "The Creative Act: A Way of Being" that challenges this limiting belief.

Rubin, a legendary producer who has worked with countless musical artists, offers a perspective that resonates deeply: our creative impulses aren't optional but instinctual, like turtles instinctively moving toward the ocean after hatching. When we deny these impulses, we feel dispirited, disconnected from our nature. Whether you're painting a masterpiece or doodling in a notebook, each creative act declares "I was here" to the world.
