Guarding Your Creative Energy: Empowerment Over Exploitation
I’ve come to realize that if you don’t direct your creative energy toward your own projects and passions, others will find ways to use that energy for themselves. It’s not always sinister, but there are definitely people out there who see creative energy as a resource to exploit. It’s important for us, as creatives, to recognize our own potential and put that energy into work that aligns with our values and our vision.
This isn’t about living in fear, but about recognizing that we have a choice. We can either consciously create for ourselves, or we’ll end up creating for someone else’s benefit. And sometimes, that means giving away our power.
