The Art Of Mind’s Blog

by Lisa A. Riley

I don’t believe we ever reach the finish line and suddenly arrive at our full creative potential. Instead, we are in constant transformation, growing and expanding. When we expose ourselves to new things, either a new form of art, visiting a different country or learning about a whole new subject matter, we stretch beyond the boundaries of what is familiar. When we venture out of our comfort zone, we provide the creative soul fresh nourishment for new ideas and perspectives. This gives us the opportunity to redefine ourselves as artists, shedding what is no longer useful and meaningful and trying on what’s new and inspiring. As a result, the creative self keeps growing and progressing in ways that are surprising, in which alchemy can take place.
