Start with Gratitude

Why gratitude? Because I think it’s the heart of creativity. 

Gratitude (at least in my experience) seems to just be recognizing that there’s an abundance of good things in our lives we didn’t really earn. 

Once you start recognizing the overwhelming, fire-hydrant-to-the-face level of abundance around us all the time, it opens us up to join in and add to it.

And when we participate, we start combining good things in interesting ways on a conscious and subconscious level. Which is of course where all great art begins.
