Creativity is not something that can be taught. But it is found through taking risks to be different in the way we think and act in the world we live in.

But what really is “creativity”? I believe we all have it in us to be “creative”, but the key is how much risk are willing to take to see it? How much are we willing to put ourselves out there to be critized or even laughed at? The truly gifted people at one point or another in their early years, took risks to help them build their ability to be creative.

The key is to get past that and to keep putting yourself out there. It’s important to realize that not everyone will “get it”, but that’s ok. To realize that creativity is not a science it’s an art and because of that it will always be a matter of opinion as to the how “good” it is. I will never be an accomplished pianist, but I can still use what little ability I have to create music (if only for myself!).

My latest endeavor is to write. I have made several attempts at this but having the desire and being able to put in the time and “take the risk”, has always left me back at where I started. This blog/portfolio/set of ramblings.. is yet, another attempt for me to write and create. I am sure you will find spelling errors, mistakes in grammar and incoherent thoughts. But at least I am taking the “risk” at trying…maybe you should give it a shot?
