Kermit TED talk – Fatima

“Creating our world with every thought.” Kermit talks about how our thoughts and views shape our reality, and even something as simple as watching a frog can be a creative act, and that creativity is not just for artists. Which I agree, our thoughts manifest how we feel which influences how we behave and act; creating our reality. 

I’ve always thought of myself as imaginative and I often find inspiration in art, but I would consider myself as a consumer of the arts not a creator. When I do create something, I tend to keep it to myself because I get too critical of my work. This self-criticism can really block my creativity, and not be able to do as Aaron said “whatever”. But the concept of beginner’s mind resonated with me because I hope it reminds me that being a beginner has its benefits—it lets us see things in a new way. Which will motivate me to try to create, or at least attempt to.
