[C]reative living is a path for the brave.

Elizabeth Gilbert
About This Quote

It can be said that creative living is a path for the brave. It comes with a certain amount of bravery and a willingness to take on new challenges and confront new fears. The benefits of creative living are numerous and far-reaching, but it comes with a few risks as well. Creative living is not for those who are too scared to try new things.

It takes bravery to push through the difficulty of creative living and face new failures and failure itself. Creative living requires that you accept that you will fail at times and then push forward, looking for your next opportunity to take action in spite of the failure. Creative living is not for people who refuse to take risks, although it may seem like an easy path at times, there are many risks along the way.
