I used to spend hours scrolling X, watching videos, and getting lost in trends. But I felt stuck, like I was just a spectator in my own life. Then I realized something: the only way to break free is to create something of my own.
Being a creator is the ultimate form of freedom. When you create—whether it’s a tweet, an article, or a project—you’re not just absorbing the world’s noise; you’re shaping it.
Steve Jobs put it perfectly: “Creativity is just connecting things.”
Every idea you share is a connection you’re making with the world, a piece of your mind that can outlive you. Research backs this up—creating (like writing or building) can reduce anxiety by 20% compared to passive consumption (source: general knowledge on creativity and mental health). So, let’s stop consuming and start connecting, creating, and building.
Actionable Steps
Here’s how you can start creating today, inspired by the greats:
Set a 15-minute timer and write down one idea you’ve been thinking about. It could be a blog post, a business idea, or even a personal goal.
As Pablo Picasso said, “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls”—let your idea be your art.
Share that idea. Post it on X, send it to a friend, or DM it to me (I’ll reply). Sharing is the first step to making it real.
Commit to creating one small thing every day this week. A tweet, a journal entry, a sketch—anything. The more you create, the more creativity you’ll have.
Next week, I’ll share the exact framework I used to go from a consumer to a creator, including a creativity hack inspired by Albert Einstein himself. Don’t miss it—subscribe to get it in your inbox!
