Being Creative in ALL Of Daily Life

In my opinion, the beauty of creativity is that it can be applied to virtually EVERYTHING!

Creativity can be applied to even the most monontonous and mundane minutia of day to day life, let me give you an example...

I commute to and from work, 5 days a week for about 2 to 3 hours a day.

Say what?

I spend way too much time in the car.

Now, typically, this would drive the average person CRAZY - but not me!

What's my creative solution to boredom in a car?

Singing.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am a songwriter.  So, when I'm in the car, I sing and I sing and I sing.  You have NO idea how fast this makes the time pass by (unless you do it too).

As of recently, I have taken this to the next level - I have taken up the art of rapping.

Say what?

That's right, RAPPING!

In my opinion, EVERYONE should learn to rap, here's why...

I rap at the car wash, I rap in line at the bank, I rap in the shower, I rap at dinner...

I can even rap to myself in my head - I don't have to make a sound.

Even if I were sent to prison over some sort of injustice or misunderstanding, even that circumstance couldn't keep me from rapping.

Nothing can take rapping away from me.

Even if I became deaf, blind, mute or lost my hands...

I can still rap in my mind.

I can still be an ARTIST, in my mind.

Now, I'm being ULTRA extreme here, but my point is, we all need to find creative solutions to our problems.  If we can REALLY learn to do this, it will literally TRANSFORM our lives :)

This is how I practice art as a spritual practice in my life.

Meditate on this idea for a while, see what you come up with - and if you find a good one, share it with me here :)

Alright, well I've gotta get going -  but I'll talk to you soon :)
