InnerSelf Daily Inspiration - October 22, 2026

InnerSelf Daily Inspiration October 22, 2026 Creativity Teamed With Wisdom: Don't Grow Up, Grow Wise! By Micheline Brierre Maybe the better message is not to grow up after all, but just to grow wise. Creativity teamed with wisdom will challenge your assumptions, question your habit patterns, dispel many myths and plunge you into the domain of personal references and experiences where your intuition and inner guidance reign supreme. — Micheline Brierre When people see my art, they often exclaim, "You are so creative! I cannot even draw a straight line!" My answer is the same, "I cannot draw a straight line either; when I need one, I get a ruler!" Creativity has nothing to do with art, although it can invade the art field. Creativity is about the dynamic forces and impulses within us. It is the constant catalyst that generates so many aspects of living, the beautiful, ever changing flow of life. We generally do not learn this in kindergarten and we need to, because it would reinforce and confirm what all healthy toddlers know instinctively. Little ones usually do not have big bullies who attack their creative life force. They don't have to battle (yet) poor self-esteem, routines, and mental tapes; they don't have an image to project and protect, no ego to feed, and addictions to satisfy. They are free; simple stuff. They deal with imaginary worlds, they see angels, light tunnels, they remember past lives, they can be cat, mimes, or superman; they live their dreams. Creativity has no formulas and no dogma. Creativity fuels happenings, finds solutions, heals and empowers. It keeps us fresh, young! You embody it as surely as the life force within you. All you need to do is give it permission to be, to speak for itself, and it will. I need to warn you that once you do so, you may find yourself on the edge of an exhilarating world -- your inner self and wisdom.
