Creative power has to filter through our beliefs, attitudes, emotions, and habits. The more negative and constricted our beliefs and patterns are, the more they block the creative energy.

You are then free to replace it with positive beliefs and attitudes.

You have to recognize that what makes you different also makes you creative.

Everyone is creative, but me and my colleagues are using a different definition of creativity than is implied when people say they are not creative.

The highest prize we can receive for creative work is the joy of being creative. Creative effort spent for any other reason than the joy of being in that light filled space, love, god, whatever we want to call it, is lacking in integrity. . .
