Creatively stuck? You need some creative draino. Today’s batch is a bit scary. But it will get your creative brain back where it needs to be.
Give. I’m not talking about giving to a faceless organization. I’m talking about giving to something that makes you uncomfortable. Poverty scares me. Not having clean water to drink scares me. Things like these are the things you need to seek out.
Sometimes creatives can become super self-absorbed. It’s all about overcoming my creative block so I can create something awesome. Creativity doesn’t come from a warm comfy blanket inside our hearts. It comes from the spaces around us.
We want to make our world better with our creativity. Why shouldn’t we make it better with our money too?
So let me encourage you to give. If you’re looking for an organization to send money through check out Compassion. You can sponsor a child in extreme poverty only $38 a month. Or a really exciting thing my wife and I just joined in on…you can give a family clean drinking water for life for only $55 by purchasing a special water filter for them.
Has giving positively impacted your ability to create? Share your story. How has giving to others helped you?
