Creativity may easily be influenced by boundaries. These act as a wall that limit our mind to flow with freedom. A wall can be someone who you admire. As you value their opinion and taste, you will tend to imitate their process to make something. A boundary is set to your creativity as your end product will resemble the mind of others and not your own. A wall can be your level of confidence. Sometimes we fear and care too much about the reaction of people. As this thought acts like a burden to our creativity, we are not able to explore, innovate or confront the freedom within the mind. A wall can be an emotion. We tend to forget that our emotions act as an authority to our mind, a force that has the power to define the state of our mood, thus influence the flexibility of our creative mind. A limit is seen in our emotions when we choose to satisfy others instead of ourselves.
Going over the wall and down to the path of freedom is the reward to those who are not defeated by the boundaries set upon creativity, and choose to diverge. Wonder through a path that is unknown, that evolves and is unique to ones perception of life, as their mind hold the ability to climb through the brick wall.
The reason why I've written this post, is because I feel that many of us have walls set to our creativity of a daily basis. To make my self clear, when I say the word 'creativity' I am not only referring to an artist, but to society as a whole.
We have all been given a white canvas... Life. Every second, every minute, every hour and every day it is colored by our thoughts, actions, words, emotions, and our decisions. The image on this canvas is reflected in our identity, as it is the most visual and concrete representation of the path we have chosen to take in life. For that reason it is important to allow our creative mind to flow with freedom. Nelson Mandela once said "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul", reminding us that we are the owners of our existence and the commanders of spirit. I find the message of this quote very powerful as it do believe that it is important to cherish the uniqueness of our creativity.
