Right Place

Creativity isn’t just something I do—it’s a way of thinking, of being. I remind myself often: I am a creative thinker, and I always have the right place for my creative state of mind. It’s a simple truth, but one that anchors me when life feels overwhelming or scattered.

The “right place” isn’t always a physical spot. Sometimes it’s a quiet corner, a favorite chair, or a desk with soft light filtering in. Other times, it’s simply the space I make in my mind—a pause in the noise, a moment to breathe and listen to my thoughts.

When I give myself that space, creativity naturally follows. It doesn’t demand perfect conditions. It thrives in imperfection, in the middle of chaos or calm, as long as I honor it by showing up.

Being a creative thinker means trusting that inspiration will find me wherever I am. The “right place” is wherever I allow myself to think, dream, and imagine freely. Creativity doesn’t need much—just an open mind and a little room to grow.

Wherever I go, my creative state of mind goes with me. That’s the beauty of it—it’s always there, ready to meet me halfway.
