Mastering Uncertainty
Today I have wrestled with what it means to live a creative life. I often think of what it takes, but actually, a bigger question is what IS a creative life?
To live a creative life does not require performing a craft - though many do and are this.
I believe living a creative life can be choosing to be creative WITH your life. Being brave. Bold. Vulnerable. Adventurous. Finding a way to live on your own terms. To stand by what you believe in. Being answerable to yourself and your own values. Trusting yourself to handle what comes up, without knowing what that will be.
I have lived a creative life -- and that has not always felt like the wisest move. VUCA comes to mind- Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous, and in the creative Industries, very much also Competitive.
It can be thrilling, exciting, always interesting ... though downright scary, and very uncertain at times.
I can find it can be quite challenging to keep up with the pace of change in the world today.
It feels like the pace is accelerating.
Is it?
And either way, is it a problem?
In nature change is continuous and unstoppable. It is, change or die -(and even then, decay is change too). And that’s not a bad thing, it is just how it is.
If you have had a secure job all your life and AI comes and knocks you out the back door, you may not have anywhere to go unless you change ... and you might have a big problem.
One of the great skills to master in a changing world is being good at handling UNCERTAINTY.
