As influences and creators we aspire to create something original, one of the kind and unique with our work.

It is a noble goal, but it keeps many people stuck.

It did keep me stuck until I realised, there is nothing new or original can be created.

All the ideas have been spoken, written and shared before.

The wisdom remains the same. Unchangeable.

Since ancient times we have been captivated and inspired by the same ideas, values and truths.

So, relax, you are not going to create anything new or original.

All prominent experts and influencers are really regurgitating the same ideas over and over again.

However, what make a difference is their perspective and their vision of timeless truths.

It is not really what you share. It is how you interpret it. What stories you include to make people better understand the principle.

Our task, if we want to influence the world, is not to look for original ideas but to look for an original approach of expressing those ideas.

People will resonate with YOU, not necessarily with the message you share.

It is much easier to allow your creativity flow when you have an intention to contribute, add value, share your authenticity.

You have the unlimited reservoir of untapped creativity. Don’t be afraid to express it.

Let it out and allow people to be transformed by it.
