A perspective on the creative process seen as a neutralizer between consumption and contribution.

Whether we are aware or not, we consume a large number of creative works/expressions of others. It could be a movie, blog content, painting, music, reading a book, etc in a daily basis. Some of them could satisfy greatly our leisure and pleasure, while some of them could also be inspiring us to create. These all fall under consumption.

It is this consumption that mostly makes up for our leisure time in this digital age and this is mostly a relaxed period and space for joy. Not to mention that we do need other leisure activities which are more of an active type, but we will for the sake of this piece stick on to the leisure associated with consumption. It is the consumption of creative works of others, to be exact.

Too much consumption alone does not make you feel balanced. There should be this right amount of work put by yourself in order to contribute as a giving back for others to consume too. And here enters the importance of the creative process that balances the consumption-contribution. And the creative process demands a form of focused work unlike the leisure of consumption.

Seeing in this perspective, there is a balance between leisure and work or play and work. There is a sweet responsibility to create which is not a forced obligation but a necessary self-balancing act. And also not to forget the gratitude arising from the knowledge that one gets to contribute according to one’s own abilities to be consumed and appreciated. And in that creative process required for contribution, one has the opportunity to gather skills and improve quality one day at a time.

This is a useful perspective to see the consumption of works of others, creating one’s own work and contributing back to be consumed, as a single process.

Consumption is also a necessary part of the creative process as there is a possibility of triggering creative fresh sparks out of the consumed rather than waiting for something to arrive.
