Dear
Daughter,
You may
think why I'm writing to you even before you were born and also about such
trivial issues. It's because now at my late 20s I came to an understanding that
all those things I thought were important till yesterday were just not. And there's
much more in this world. I want you to do your share of mistakes but not fall
heads down without any clue like I did.
Today I
want to share about the importance of Creation. You're most powerful when you
have the ability to create something. Nurture your skills to create. Whether it’s
music, art, fabric, writing, pictures or anything. Take the time out to learn
and be a master in the selected arena with dedication. It’s always important to have a hobby and to make
that hobby into a passion. Because at your lowest these are going to hold you
up. And when you indulge in the art of creation you’re getting more close to
the Divine power.
I
started this blog at the lowest point in my life. This was that one place that
gave me the freedom to be myself without the fear of been judged. Later on this
became an essential part of me. When everything around me fails to be in my
control, this is one place where I could create and be the master. And always
do things for yourself and not for others. It’s your happiness and emotional
satisfaction that matters most. Create for yourself, and for your happiness only and make a small part of heaven here in this world.
Understand
that, “We are
all creative beings. The act of creating puts us in direct connection with the
greatest creator. The master artist that is our Divine Creator.”
From,
Me.

Thanks Swathi :)
DeleteHaving a hobby turned passion is a key to a fulfilled life. And when you create - be it a painting or a cake, a sweater or a string of words, that's a powerful, radical act indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe satisfaction these small creations give us is immense.
DeleteCreations are a reflection of ones own individuality and when we do it from our hearts it spreads happiness... Isnt it!!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteWe have both, the Creator and the Destroyer, within us. It is always better to nurture the Creator within. Sage advice, Sheetal.
ReplyDeleteIt is always better to nurture the Creator within. Amen to that!
DeleteAnd your vision broadens further when you reach your mid-thirties!
ReplyDeleteBeing creative and doing what you love is so important
Absolutely Amazing Alliteration
That helps to see the world in a better way too.
DeleteVery inspiring post. Having the ability to create something is a wonderful thing. Whether you keep it for yourself or share it with others, there's definitely love behind it.
ReplyDeleteSO much of love :)
DeleteYes! That's the best thing one can do to yourself! Creating something for your own self!

Rightly said!
DeleteI'm really enjoying these letters to your daughter. Did you really start the blog at the lowest point of your life? And feel it was your space? Thats amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteYes, Kalapana I did. For me this was a place to let go my emotions. And should say, it really helped me.
Little gems of advice for the daughter. And all the more important because women have always been told to live for others, so this advise to do something for yourself is a gem.
ReplyDeleteShubhangi @ The Little Princess
It's high time woman start living for themselves and start seeing them as humans.
DeleteThat final quote says it all. I think Elizabeth Gilbert says something like that --- we are all creative, we just need to put it to use. :) Lovely post Sheethal!
ReplyDeleteSanch @ Sanch Writes
Thanks Sanch. Hugs.
DeleteThis was lovely! I especially liked "Create for yourself, and for your happiness" -- it's interesting how many others love what you do, when you love it too.

DeleteI think you touched very crux of human life.. #Creativity is what makes us different than any other species.... is baat pe mere tarafse ek cup Coffee for this amazing piece for your #AtoZChallenge
ReplyDeleteThanks Aditya. :)
Deletethat's a great piece of advise!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
DeleteThis is lovely advice.
ReplyDeleteSheethal, I don't know if you know this - I had quit blogging a while ago. But also at a low point at the time, I realized maybe my writing is what'll save me. So I can relate to this post in more ways than one.
I didn't know that. But I also keep blogging on n off. And I wanted to do AtoZ, because this is the only time my blog is completely active. But whenever I feel low, I come back here...and it definitely lifts me up. So keep writing. Hugs.
DeleteI started my blog at a point in my life where I needed to make sense of things and now it is a huge part of who I am - so I totally understand what you've said to your one-day -daughter :)
ReplyDeleteLeanne | cresting the hill
Hugs to you Leanne. Thanks for such a support system.
DeleteThat is one piece of advice that my Dad always gave us as we were growing up... to have a creative hobby. Anything really. And it is one sensible advice, I agree.
ReplyDeleteHappy AtoZing!
Chicky @ www.mysteriouskaddu.com
Dad's are always sensible! Thanks Chicky. :)
DeleteI guess, we bloggers have one place to feel secure. The haven that we've created for ourselves on our blog. Your daughter will benefit from a creative mum like you!
ReplyDeleteYes, this is our haven.
DeleteSo true buddy and I loved you r advice pertaining creativity...glad all of us hve our blog as our creative space to unleash the power of our fan tasies. .
ReplyDeleteAmen to that.
DeleteEngaging in a creative pursuit is not only acts a stress buster but also gives confidence and helps you grow as well!
ReplyDeleteRightly said Shilpa.
DeleteWow that is such a cool theme and advice I wish somebody had told me so too
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
DeleteCreating something that will remain immortal is such a brilliant task, and it comes with its own share of responsibilities. Writing, art, music, dance, it's all about creating emotions and experiences that you yourself will never forget, and so will people who experience it!
ReplyDeleteThat's what we all are dreaming of, nah. :)
DeleteGreat letter and great explanation to your daughter about creation. I am sure she will enjoy these later.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deepa. I hope so too.
DeleteThe creator and destroyer are both within us! Lovely post

Yes, we should. We should let them live their life.
DeleteThe power to create something is truly blissful. I have always found solace in penning down things at the lowest dips in the graph of my life. Good post and a good letter to your daughter.
ReplyDeleteCreation sustains the universe... Love this one :)
