Each one of us has amazing, unique, creative gifts that when shared with the world, have the potential to inspire others (get that inner spiral churning). This is true for pretty much all the Arts such as, music, dance, painting, writing and sculpting.
I know that as a writer, when I read other people's work it often sparks fresh, new concepts within me. It other words, I get inspired to create. However, it's important to note that unless these inspirations are true expressions of ourselves, meaning their coming directly from the intrinsic stirring of our own souls, they won't pack a punch, nor have much of an effect on others. Why? Because there is no creative force behind simply regurgitating someone else's work.
The responsibility of an artist (and I feel we are all artists in some form or another) is to create from within ourselves. That is where our unique and powerful gifts reside.
Write, dance, and sing YOU!
