• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop so This morning, I want to
• 0:31
  talk to you about being creative creativity.
• 0:35
  Oh gosh, one of my favorite all-time words things to do.
• 0:38
  I am just obsessed with being creative in any way, shape, or
• 0:44
  form that I can, it is just something I absolutely adore
• 0:49
  doing whether it's creating Gardens, whether it's writing
• 0:52
  books, whether it's, you know, painting drawing coloring.
• 0:56
  I don't care how simple it can be baking cookies, I just love
• 0:59
  being creative. And for me, I think creativity
• 1:04
  is a very misunderstood part of human beings.
• 1:10
  You know, I grew up in a house where my mother didn't believe
• 1:15
  that she was creative at all, and it always was sad to me that
• 1:18
  she just would say things like that constantly, she'd go.
• 1:21
  Oh well, I'm not creative. You know, your aunt so much more
• 1:24
  creative than I am yet. She used to make these beautiful
• 1:28
  Afghans and she would A all the time and she did needlepoint,
• 1:33
  but she would say that because there was already a picture on
• 1:36
  the needlepoint that it wasn't creative.
• 1:37
  It was just her following instructions or because she was
• 1:42
  crocheting and she was following a pattern that she wasn't being
• 1:45
  creative and I never bought the story of it, but it always
• 1:51
  bothered me that she would frame it that way.
• 1:53
  And as I grew up and as I, you know, learned about creativity
• 2:00
  on a Level I recognize that so many people do this.
• 2:03
  So many of my clients feel the same way and they're like, well
• 2:06
  I'm not creative but then you know, they're amazing cooking
• 2:09
  and they're like, wow, I'm just following the recipe and we
• 2:12
  totally beat the crap out of ourselves by saying I'm not
• 2:16
  creative when we are totally creative.
• 2:19
  Just because you're following a recipe or somebody else.
• 2:22
  Somebody else created does. Not mean you're not creative.
• 2:25
  Of course you are. You're creating that piece
• 2:27
  you're being creative. You're in the Act of Creation.
• 2:31
  And we as human beings put ourselves down because we think,
• 2:36
  oh, unless I came up with the original idea.
• 2:38
  I'm not creative. And it's a bunch of horse crap.
• 2:41
  As far as I'm concerned, it does not mean a thing.
• 2:44
  In fact, human beings are meant to be creative to constantly be
• 2:49
  in creation. We create our outside world, we
• 2:51
  create our thoughts, we create our beliefs, we create
• 2:55
  everything around us, we are a representation of pure potential
• 2:58
  and creation. So, You denounced that piece
• 3:02
  when you take that that factor of creation and you ridicule it
• 3:06
  and say well I'm not creative, you are doing yourself a wild
• 3:10
  disservice, you know, I have a lot of people who are very
• 3:13
  analytical and thinking and so don't tell me all the time while
• 3:16
  I'm not creative but they will send me spreadsheets on stuff
• 3:19
  that I am blown away by. And I'm like, how could you say
• 3:21
  you're not creative. You just came up with this
• 3:24
  amazing spreadsheet. How you put it together?
• 3:26
  What? You put in here, all the data,
• 3:28
  that's creativity it. Might not be like art, art paint
• 3:33
  painting drawing, whatever. But it's still creativity, and
• 3:37
  this is why I wanted to find this with you guys.
• 3:39
  I want you to all recognize. Everyone has their own version
• 3:43
  of being creative. Not everyone has the same gifts.
• 3:48
  Thank God, I don't want everyone to have the same gifts I have
• 3:51
  and I don't want everyone to want the same gifts.
• 3:54
  I have, I want the diversity. I want the fun stuff, I want the
• 3:59
  fact that, you know, I'm G love. The fact that I don't cook very
• 4:02
  well. I mean I It's not my thing, I
• 4:05
  can do it, but it's just not my thing.
• 4:07
  But my husband's amazing at it and I'm blessed to have somebody
• 4:10
  that can whip something up. If I ask for it, or he can go to
• 4:14
  the refrigerator and take out a bunch of random things and make
• 4:17
  something extraordinary, I do not have that creativity, he
• 4:20
  does but at the same time I can look at a blank spot in our yard
• 4:25
  and say oh I can see exactly what kind of garden.
• 4:28
  I want to put there and create it and it's thrilling to me, to
• 4:32
  be able to do that or to sit. And say, hey, I'm going to write
• 4:34
  a book and put a book together and have it done, is just
• 4:39
  absolutely fulfilling on so many levels.
• 4:43
  So I want you all to pause and really think about the word
• 4:48
  creativity. And the fact that creation is
• 4:51
  part of who we are as human beings.
• 4:54
  It's part of our experience here and understanding that you have,
• 4:58
  it understanding that you can cultivate it and it doesn't have
• 5:02
  to be by a The definition is so important to your growth and
• 5:07
  thriving. You're going to hear me say this
• 5:08
  word all the time because that's what it's about for me.
• 5:11
  I want to find ways for people to help them Thrive, not just
• 5:14
  survive. I want them to thrive and create
• 5:19
  being creative is part of thriving getting into that
• 5:23
  creative Zone, realizing that you have the power in your world
• 5:26
  to make things happen is astounding and it's a blessing
• 5:31
  and we have to take it on that way.
• 5:33
  So today, I want you to pause think about what is your
• 5:36
  definition of being creative? How do you define it?
• 5:39
  Do you see yourself that way? And how can you cultivate
• 5:42
  yourself to see it that way? Changing the definition of it
• 5:45
  for yourself, I hope you all have an amazing day and are
• 5:48
  blessed and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:51
  Bye.
