The creative spirit and creative passion of any hobby

As a result of an exploration into the nature of our creativity it become very clear we have within ourselves a profound creative spirit. It is this creative spirit which lies behind, or give rise to, the passion to engage in life let alone engage in any hobby. It is what provides us with the creative insights and ideas to solve the problems we face in any aspect of our life.

It was also observed that if this creative spirit does not have its creative desires fulfilled in some way by the life that is being lived by the individual, the individual will not have the passion and energy to engage life, or this creative spirit may even create conditions of accident, illness and/or disease to challenge itself. In this regard, hobbies become a very important outlet for the needs of this creative spirit to be satisfied. This is especially true if what is demanded of the individual by life does not fulfill the needs of the individual’s creative spirit.

The awareness of this creative spirit arose as a result of an exploration into the nature of our creativity which began as an exploration of creativity in the workplace. The issue which arose which prompted the exploration of creativity in the workplace was the observation that individuals were not free to play with options and possible solutions the way a young child was free to play and explore new things. Quite simply individuals seemed to have lost the ability to creatively play and step out of the limits and boundaries being imposed by the current situation to look at alternative ways of approaching a situation. In exploring this creative spirit, it was found most individuals were not free to play and explore options because they had placed their creative spirit in a cage of their own making early in life as a result of the experiences they had in life. The question became how does one get this creative spirit out and make it available to address what one is facing in life.

Two elements found essential to releasing this creative spirit are a safe and secure space where one can learn to return to a state of creative play and an activity in which to express that play. Any hobby can be the doorway to an activity to help release an individual’s bound creative spirit and return to a state of creative play. When this occurs the activities of the hobby can then also become the vehicle to nurture and sustain the released creative spirit.
