Just do it

If we are not careful, we can easily spend so much of our time and our lives waiting for permission to create something that gives us joy and delights others. This is a reminder to myself to make something that delights and heals, first for myself. And to trust that what I create for myself will naturally progress to something that is shared with others. When the inspiration strikes, just do it, even in the smallest of ways. If I want to write, then write in a stream-of-consciousness style in my journal and see what comes of it. If I want to paint, doodle on the page. If I want to scream, scream inside the car while driving to somewhere familiar or new. Just do it and don’t worry about permission, validation, approval, green lights. Creativity isn’t human anyway - it belongs to the divine. Just do it and see what happens. What happens is almost always something good.
