Day 19 #DoodleADay Challenge:

It’s easy to get caught up in thinking that in order to give something our time it has to be “important” and have greater meaning, in the eyes’ of others. The original intention of just connecting with one’s own creativity may become lost when we begin to compare what we do to what or how others “do it”.

If one subscribes to the thought that creating or “just” playing around with making a doodle, drawing, or other creative playful endeavour has no value, then what motivation is there? But what are we without play, without our creativity? We can become robots, out of touch with our emotions and disconnected from what it means to be human. Playing reminds us of this: that our creativity is worth more than the products it produces. Our creativity links us with our one-of-a-kindness. Always remember to make space for play regularly. Another task easily met by the profound-in-its-simplness doodle.
