📝📜Daily Journal Prompt #25

Subject: The way we think about creativity must change.

Friends,

Welcome Back! 👋

For today's journal prompt we will explore the topic of creativity, inspired by the book "Steal Like An Artist" by Austin Kleon, affiliate link below 👇

Kleon's book is a must-read for anyone looking to tap into their creative potential. One of the main themes of the book is that nothing is original, and that all great art is built on the ideas of others. He encourages his readers to embrace this reality and to use it as inspiration to create something new.

Kleon suggests that the key to creativity is to surround yourself with the work of others and to borrow from it. He writes, "The artist is a collector. Not a hoarder, mind you, there's a difference: Hoarders collect indiscriminately, artists collect selectively. They only collect things that they really love."

Kleon also emphasizes the importance of taking action and actually creating something. He writes, "The only way to find your voice is to use it. It's hardwired, built into you. Talk about the things you love. Your voice will follow."

So for today's journal entry, I encourage you to reflect on your own creative potential. Ask yourself: What are some things that inspire me? Who are some artists, writers, or musicians that I admire? How can I use their work as inspiration to create something new?

Kleon also suggests keeping a logbook or journal to jot down ideas and inspirations. So, take some time to write down your own ideas and inspirations, no matter how small or silly they may seem.

Remember, creativity is not always about being original, but about taking inspiration from the world around us and making it our own. You don't always have to reinvent the wheel as they say. Let's embrace this concept and use it as a tool for our own creative growth.

As always, don't forget to sign up for our newsletter and share it with your friends and family who may be interested in exploring the power of journaling.

Thank you for the continued support ❤

Until next time,

Your friend, Austin ✌🤟
