Sixty-three motivational and inspirational short essays on living a creative life written in an easy to read, engaging style. Bestselling author Aliyah Marr takes us on a transpersonal and transformative journey exploring creativity & genius, psychology creative ability, and the inner child. For those who know that the way to self-actualization is through the medium of art, any art. Whether you are a creative writer, a journalist, visual artist, musician/composer, computer artist, graphic designer, architect, screenwriter or actor, you know that your art is what makes you want to get up every day. It is what helps you face the world, or rather, it helps you transform the world. This book is for those intrepid explorers of human expression: artists. It doesn't matter what field you choose-whether in the arts or sciences-if you do it in the attitude of curiosity and passion, you are an artist, or what I call a "conscious creative." You are not satisfied with the status quo; you find your own answers. You forge your own path. The journey of the conscious creative is one of adventure and courage. It is not the path often taken. Most people would rather spend their lives working a job they hate and come home to watch TV rather than spend one minute wrestling with themselves in front of an empty canvas or blank page. It isn't always easy or fun, but ultimately, a creative life is extremely rewarding. For an artist, it is the only life worth living. "Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird? Why does one love the night, flowers, everything around one, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting people have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only a trifling bit of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world, though we can't explain them."
