Should uncreative people try to become creative?

[Never_give_up]

like in art for example, should someone that can't draw from imagination practice for years, or it's futile and he will never do it?

or like Jordan Peterson says, only 2% of people are creative and the rest should not even try?

Wait JP says that? I mean being human means being creative in some way or another. Are you wanting to be more creative?

JP's work is as good as a microwaved meal, lol.

Everyone is creative in their own way all the time.

Even the way you sleep is creativity.

It's just that in the collective unconscious, the word "creativity" refers to a specific group of ways of being creative.

Generally "bourgeois" things (music, painting, photography, etc.).

The proof is that just a few years ago, we were still wondering if video games were art; And that's me, a "conservative," saying that.

There are a lot of ways to be creative in this world, drawing is but one of million.

Music, gardening, woodcraft, electronics, DIY projects, writing, dancing, videogames,  photography, painting, heck even self-expression etc.

The way I see it, creativity shines brightest when there are no expectations at play, your survival is not threatened, no daily life problems - you can just tune into a flow state and do your thing. It is easier said than done, however.

Sorting out your shit, processing trauma and healing your body are great foundations to me to flourish creativity. Ensuring your body and brain works at its' best. Of course many famous creative people have some (or lots of) issues, but that's not the only (or ideal) way.

Stepping on a pile of dog piss is God’s beauty at work.

The greatest creative works sprang from breaking the rules.

Acting on a creative interest can be very fulfilling. It is something you nurture for years and watch grow into something that expresses your particular brand of love.

Act on what excites you and that you are passionate about and turn that into an art, something you hone for it's own sake. That is never futile. Don't get stuck in the stereotype of art being drawing naked people or playing the guitar.

[Leo Gura]

Hard to say because you don't know if you're the creative type till you give it a good try.

Try and see how it feels.

It's true that most people aren't cut out for it. It takes an artistic mind. But artistic mind still requires tons of training up.

You are the perfect emanation of the one absolute.

The world prefer you be a widget in the one machine.

Who are you going to listen to?

No one has ever come close to doing what you do.
