“Creativity takes courage. ”― Henri Matisse
Creativity comes from the heart.
Our heart is the centre of our entire physical body and is without a doubt one of the most important organs. Not only does it work 24 hours a day, every day, from the day we are born (and even before) until the day we die.
The heart is not only something that pumps blood through the body. It also plays a very important role in the emotional part of our bodies.
Our thoughts and emotions that form in our subconscious mind are really strong, don’t get me wrong. But if we compare the power that is generated by our subconscious emotions and our emotions that come from the heart. We realize that our heart is something remarkable. It’s been said that emotions coming from the heart are about 2-5 times stronger than emotions coming from the subconscious mind.
Another interesting fact is that the subconscious can indeed be tricked. Tricked into feeling something different, even if it doesn’t agree with it. But the heart cannot be tricked. I have no idea how it does this, but it always knows exactly how to feel. It cannot be tricked into feeling a different emotion than what it’s actually supposed to feel.
By now you’re wondering what does all this interesting but at the same time confusing information have to do with our creativity. Let me explain.
Creativity comes from our heart, creativity is a direct result of being 100% honest about our feelings and emotions. Have you ever noticed that when you love a creation, it always spikes your emotions? Like a good song, painting, movie… It connects with your heart and as we know the heart is where the strongest forms of emotions live.
What the creator used to create the masterpiece is 100% honesty. As we know 100% honesty comes from the heart when we are in the PRESENT moment and we have the courage to share our feelings about something with the world.
Creativity, in my eyes, is having the courage to take the risk of expressing the most vulnerable part of you. Then taking another risk by sharing it with others. Most vulnerable part of you, being your emotions.
As we know our emotions are our strongest form of power, but at the same time our biggest vulnerability if used against us. When we are 100% honest, connected to the heart and the present moment. We are presented with the opportunity to create, an opportunity to create from the heart.
When we are 100% honest and genuine, we are also 100% vulnerable. You’re putting your life in the hands of the universe. By trusting it with your biggest vulnerability you’re also allowing it to reward you with the biggest reward possible. Giving you 100% access to your natural creativity found in your heart.
It’s all about living in abundance. When you live an abundant life and have full trust in yourself and the process. You’ll be blessed in ways that you cannot imagine.
Follow your heart and you will always follow your dreams, even if you have no clue what your dreams actually are.
Thank you for reading, I hope you found this valuable.
Until next time,

Your photos taste and writings is so awesome Benjamin! Sent over 100 SP to boost your account a bit! Keep it up! I feel like I am learning a lot by reading your stuff!
Adrian, wow. Thanks a lot, your support means so much to me. Thank you for the kind reward too, I am grateful for it. I love how we can all connect and share/learn from each other, it makes my passion and love for writing even stronger. :)
Yes of course we will learn from each other!
I see clearly the potential in you when I see the content you produce. Which is way better than most other stuff that is being produced here and also that you have an eye for great photos! Since abundance is limitless it will be very interesting to see future topics that you will study and write a bit deeper into! At the beginning we always need some extra boost and motivation to get new interesting ideas into our head. Male communication on a deeper level will create lots of new interesting ideas especially since we humans get influenced by others in our surroundings very easy.
