STAY CREATIVE

Ah! Creativity! Such a blessing but such a burden as well.

In today's life, we suffer to have a balanced life between living life and being creative. It is hard to keep this balance because TIME is our near enemy. Creativity can't be rushed, it is a thing that is driven by freedom and living freely. One must not be caged.

But with creativity and freedom comes challenges and facing fears. I grew up in an isolated environment because my parents weren't socialists. It was hard as a kid because all my friends were confident people and had much fun in life and I used to be afraid of going out and be part of the world.

It was until I decided to go and study Graphic Design in Potchefstroom that I started to force myself into this world. I love to travel and going on holidays and I try to fit in by every new place I visit, but it is still hard.

Someone once told me that "change is the only constant in life" - which is hard to believe, but it is true. The moment you overcome the changes you faced the sooner the new changes arrive at your doorstep. And the key is to embrace change and accept that it is always changing and never constant - which is in his deed constant. :) (confusing I know but once you understand it, it will change your life)

Staying creative is a forward moving motion and not a still standing one. It takes practice and hard work, but once you try and face it, the more it makes you stronger.

Learning to do something new is stimulating and it forms you as a person. You are more educated than before and it can only affect your life in a positive way.

Balance is key. We can't all just forget about time and focus ourselves to one thing. Life won't allow it and so it is hard to do all the thing you want and reach your dreams sooner.

So, stay creative by challenging yourself and facing your fears. Travel, read more, do more and speak to more people. Keep a balanced life and work hard. Persevere and you will achieve.
