Don't listen to the bozos who tell you to take it slow and 'just enjoy life.'

No. They want you smoking weed on the sofa with them, unproductive as all hell.

Creating things is our birthright and the most potent source of life energy when we allow it to flourish.

We are literally composed of the same creative force driving the expansion of the Universe.

This is why when we step outside of what's comfortable and get to creating with a sense of urgency, we feel human again. It's like drinking warm, nourishing soup after a long icy hike.

Creativity fills us up.

You don't even need to be artistic to be creative and to fuel your creative engine. You can simply make a cup of tea with full presence. This is a purely beautiful and creative act.

If you're feeling flat, get to creating. And then, when the momentum is there, ride that momentum like a cow in a tornado. Give yourself the gift of doing more with a sense of feverish energy - this is life energy.

I use the term 'maniac' here jokingly because when you start to level up and commit to creating more, with a sense of gusto, you are doing what few do. You set yourself apart.

So, in the eyes of society and the friends you left behind, sure, they may see you as a 'maniac,' but that's a good thing.

Do what most people don't do. Go hog wild, with breaks. This is how to rekindle that spark again. It's action that can only spiral into more action.

"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." - Maya Angelou

Slow down if you feel yourself burning out, yes, but do so to get back on the fast track.

Decide to be crazy creative, adopt a sense of playful urgency, act like you care, and your reality will bend to your renewed identity.
