Anything that has real and lasting value is always a gift from within.
-Franz Kafka
BEST WISHES FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON! My gift to you is something that already resides within you – YOUR CREATIVE POTENTIAL. It is your gateway into a life of joy, fun and optimism. It is an internal resource that is abundant. Once you tap into it, it will not run out – as long as you keep experimenting and trying. The creative life is there for all to explore and it is not exclusive, There isn’t only one way of being creative but many different ways.
So listen to your instincts or hunches. Follow them because they are the starting points of your creativity and by following them, you will acknowledge and respect the unique material that dwells within you.
