Personal Limitations & Creativity

6/1/2016

"But out of limitations comes creativity."
- Debbie Allen

I'll never paint a masterpiece. And that's okay. I'll never have a palette of watercolors and know, just know, the best way to use them. And that's okay. I'll never know how to make all the best use of all the best features on my camera. That's okay as well.

It's not that I couldn't do these things. It's that I have no need.

"Static" Nicole Hanna
Because through the limitations of my knowledge and skills, innovation is born.  This is when I take risks, when I reject the concept of a "masterpiece", and throw (quite literally) paint at a canvas just to see what would happen. Even without a purposeful exploration of my "skills" with paint, I created something that evokes in me a sense of accomplishment. It is my own masterpiece from my rejection of that concept. Irony. Funny stuff.
"People put limitations on their creativity,
believing they have to rely on what they know
and what they have done."
- Bertrand Piccard
You don't have to know anything at all to innovate, to create, to express yourself through art, music or poetry. You just have to be brave, to reject the "standard", to step outside the policy and rules, or break them outright. You just have to deny to yourself that your limitations have meaning. They don't. They are only doors without walls... just walk around them.

I listen to a lot of Celtic music and lately a singer songwriter who lives in Ontario but is from Scotland, David Francey, love his music. Nice to have something playing in the background that the mind knows but can still concentrate on what i am doing!
