Without creative connection, we are in a state of need.
We need the guidance of a mentor. We need the camaraderie of creative allies. We need the example of a role model. We need the thrill of a collaborator.
We need so much!
But the greatest creative connection hack isn’t about meeting our needs.
It’s about meeting someone else’s needs.
It is SERVING.
This is counterintuitive! We feel lousy! Unsupported! Unprotected! Directionless! How could this possibly be a good time to serve others?
But it is!
Mentoring is an experience of radical connectedness. We connect to the unique passion and potential in another. We connect with ourselves, revealing our values, strengths, and generosity. We connect to creativity as a universal human experience.
And mentoring resonates through all our creative connections. Drawing mentors to us. Heightening our magnetism with our creative allies. Bridging the gap between us and our role models. Sparking new life into our collaborations.
We don’t serve TO receive — but it happens.
