Can You Run Out of Creativity?

You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. -Maya Angelou

Hello! :) This is our quote of the week, as you've probably guessed. ;)

The first thing I thought of when I read this quote was love. Why? Because the more love you give away, the more you have.

Do you think this is true? The more creativity you use, the more you have? One could argue that this makes no sense; how can you have more of something after using it? Well, this isn't exactly an easy question to answer.

The first thing that I thought of was love. It's not exactly an answer, but it reminds you that not all of your questions can be answered. Not everything can be used up. Love - and creativity - aren't material, therefore you can't run out of them.

If you aren't satisfied with that, let me give you another answer. :)

When you are creative, you are making room for more creativity. In other words, creativity inspires itself. When you write, you are being creative. And if you never start, then you won't be able to be creative further. In turn, when you are creative, you are able to be creative further.

So don't worry that you'll ever run out of ideas. You simply can't!
