Creativity is an act of faith! Very intertwined with the way we connect to our creator and step out in the darkness anyway. To make things, faith is required.
And faith requires that we relinquish control. I used to think creativity was something I controlled — it came from me, it was my output, so it was mine to manage or muster. But it’s a flow! Something we block or something we let move. Our resistance to our own creativity is a form of self-destruction. We throw up roadblocks to maintain the illusion of control. And that resistance shows up as depression, anger, anxiety, sluggishness, and confusion. (All Julia’s words BTW)
The truth is, we do know, and we know that we know. The affirmation from this chapter, “I know the things I know,” has helped me greatly over the past few years. Sneakily simple, it calls to the core of our intuition. My mom used to stop me mid-sentence on the phone whenever I said: “I don’t know.” She would gently reply, “You do know.” She was right! Usually I say “I don’t know” to cover up a truth trying to break free.
