Reflection of Creativity

It is an obvious thing that we all work hard and spend our blood and sweat to get success in life. No matter whatever we do, we always want to be successful.

Today, I would like to share the video below, where a famous American writer Elizabeth Gilbert, shares her fears and approaches towards the reflection of creativity in her life and work. I am inspired by this video, as being a communication student where things just happens instantly, it sometimes get difficult to keep up with the pace of time. The way she revealed the anxiety we go through in the success procedure is what every other person experiences.

“Everyone of my book have killed me a little more.” – Norman Mailer. I agree to what Mailer said as it is amazing how we get caught in the vicious circle of success that every time we achieve one, we are scared of loosing it and want more and more.. Especially in the creative process, as we are constantly thinking about different things, sometimes we get brilliant ideas but to put it in practice might not be possible always, different pessimist thoughts surrounds us constantly and held things up.


The words like creativity, success have become quiet intimidating these days, as we are constantly compared to the previous art of work and are judged on that basis. It is not always possible to keep up the height of perfection or creativity. Hence, at the end of the day, the only thing we can do is our best and leave rest for time to take care of.
