Elizabeth Gilbert on nurturing creativity...

I've been reading a beautiful book called Eat. Love. Pray by Elizabeth Gilbert (courtesy of @nikkistammers)

Sometimes I read it and aside from the writers slight neurotic episodes, I feel like its my own thoughts I am reading. May be this is why its a best seller (no I didn't mean my thoughts are best sellers more the writers ability to engage deeply with readers). Either way, I love the fact that I am taking something back from it. More than entertaining my moments.

Unlike me however, Elizabeth Gilbert manages to put many of my random thoughts in to a coherent sentence, chapter and novel which is an incredible skill. Props to her.

Talking about inspiration, creativity and the genius, she spoke at TED. Just like her novel, she articulates such a sensitive and fascinating subject so well, that I cannot deny, has very much inspired me to approach creativity from a different stand point and I hope it does you too.
