my 'creative best'...

it does not require a canvas, paint brush, etc...

it is how i respond to the world without the attachment of expectations for how it will be received

although what i do may be 'good', 

my 'best' is not defined or limited by what i do

while my intentions are for 'better',

my 'best' is not determined by what motivates me to do it

it is not the quest for self-worth but the expression of self-hood

operating in my 'creative best' is a gift intended to make the world around me a better place

it chooses 'personal contribution' over 'personal gain'

it honors the God who created me - it loves and respects others that have been placed in my life

my 'creative best' draws out the best in others

it has the potential to reflect the best that has been created in me through anything i do 

(and when i do nothing at all)

it is my choice - and it matters!
