Are you a creative person? Do you get paid to create? Do friends simply look at you in awe sometimes and wonder how on Earth you are able to do it? Are you rewarding your creativity? If not you should and let me tell you why. Creative geniuses need to reward themselves and when they accomplish something or come up with a great idea they need to treat themselves to something that they like. A reward if you will. Why do you ask? Because so often creativity becomes a chore and it is no longer fun.

Many times creative people are tapped to work in companies such as in their public-relations department, design department or marketing department. Then their creative spirit becomes a job. If they do not reward their creativity it ceases to be fun and fulfilling. I recommend that you reward you creativity. As a creative person myself, I have noted that when I reward myself for my creativity that I often enjoy going back to create more.

By rewarding my creativity after I accomplished a creative act, I smile inside and think a job well done. This makes getting to the goal of creating extremely fun. Anybody who is a creative person knows that during the act of creating it is a fun process and if you reward yourself after you are done then you get a double dose of happiness. This will help you love what you do and therefore you will do it better.

If you fail to reward yourself for your creativity then it just becomes a chore or another job and then it becomes no fun. Please consider ways that you can reward yourself for the creativity that you perform in advance and promise yourself that you will reward your efforts for finishing the completed project of your creativity. Think on this in 2006.
