Moving from consumer to creator can be intimidating.
Consuming is risk-free, relaxed, and dopamine-releasing—but, unfulfilling.
Creating is risk-taking, nerve-wracking, and self-exposing—but, rewarding.
One intermediary step that helped me is curating.
Which, many people don’t realize, is a form of creation in its own right.
Taking the best of what you find and creating your own unique content playlist(s) is an art form—one that highlights unique taste.
The best part is this: by immersing yourself in what speaks to you and your unique tastes—you’ll start making connections with your unique life experiences and ideas… it’s inevitable because you’ll only ever be pulled to curate what resonates.
And oftentimes, the byproduct of good curation over enough time will be creation.
