Creativity and Purpose

Our inner creativity and the purpose to which it is primarily channeled define our lives. Our society tries very hard to espouse channels which limit our creativity: by encouraging goals and ideals which are founded upon factors such as money, social standing, and appearance. Almost always these are channels consisting of factors based on ego and out of one's creative control, which therefore leads to great frustration and dissatisfaction. We need to find and utilize channels which not only do little to limit our creativity but also work to expand and nurture it. I believe this is very simple but very difficult. However, if we can find a channel which is limited by our creativity itself, then and only then can we reach our potential.
