💡Creativity Is a Habit, Not a Gift

Today’s insight comes from The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp.

Twyla teaches us: “Creativity is not a gift from the gods. It’s the result of daily practice.”

Great creators don’t wait for inspiration—they show up and do the work.

Here’s how to build creativity into your day:

First, start small, start now. Tharp says: “Every artist was first an amateur.” Start something small today.

Next, create a ritual. She writes: “Every morning, I begin my creative work with a specific ritual.”

Finally, embrace repetition. Tharp reminds us: “Repetition is not boring—it’s the foundation of mastery.”

So… What’s one step you can take today to cultivate your creativity?
