5 Everyday Tips for Creative Living
Creative living is to allow for inspiration, love and meaning. Creativity is a conscious state. It is more about being, and not just doing.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ – Eleanor Roosevelt
Courage is needed whenever you are feeling helpless, vulnerable, ashamed, and weak. You leak energy. Your negative emotions are really indications that you are experiencing fear. Instead of drowning in these, use them as feedback on the need to develop courage.
