Be an artist, right now!

Everyone is born with a natural urge to create and play, as seen in children who invent stories and dance freely. Over time, society’s expectations and pressures bury this creative spark, convincing people that art is impractical or reserved for the gifted. Even so, suppressed artistic desires often re-emerge in unexpected or negative ways, from karaoke bravado to harsh criticism of performers. Rekindling this inner artist brings happiness and fulfillment that work alone rarely provides.
