Creativity increases your vital energy

Playing the bass guitar changed my life.

I’ve always had a yearning around music that I couldn’t quite identify. There was something I wanted to get to, but I had no idea what it was. Then one day, I picked up a bass guitar and started plunking around.

It rocked my world.

I’m not sure this means I’m destined to be in a rock and roll band. (Creativity isn’t linear.) But what I do know is that creativity plugs us into a kind of energy—a juice—that we weren’t connected to before. And once we’re plugged in, our whole life changes.

Because everything changes according to the state we’re in. When you’re creatively plugged in and happy, that energy radiates outward. Your work feels inspired, your relationships expand, and your entire outlook shifts.

Creativity has the power to transform not just what we do, but how we live. When we’re plugged into what we love, we’re plugged into life itself—and that changes everything.
