WHAT IS CREATIVITY? REALLY, WHAT IS IT?

July 9, 2021 Jon Aguilar

“A great artist is but a conduit for an expression that resonates with something that is greater than him or herself.” (From Jason Silva’s ‘Shots of Awe’)

This brief blog is dedicated to all of you Creatives I know and don't know out there. You'll get this video!

I've been watching Jason Silva's "Shots of Awe" videos periodically since around 2013. When I begin to lose that inner "reason" about why I do what I do and how I want to feel about what I do, I watch a handful of his videos specifically on Awe, Beauty, Connection and Creativity. I'll watch 1 about 3-5 times until I feel "true" inside once again and not on some path of compromise. Compromise to me means 1) Working with people who don't align with me or the potential of a project or 2) Looking at a project only for the money I could make or 3) Reducing the potential beauty or grandeur of a project for unnecessary reasons.

Thanks Jason for putting yourself out there for so many years.
