The Art of Refusal
Briefly

Creativity is often rooted in challenging emotions, which motivate us to act and signal the need for change. Embracing these emotions can unlock new possibilities.
Challenging emotions reveal our refusal to accept circumstances as they are. This refusal is a crucial step in healing, transformation, and innovation.
Contrary to the pressure to maintain a cheerful outlook, embracing anxiety and despair can be essential for envisioning new futures and inspiring creativity.
Writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin reminds us that facing difficult emotions is essential for creating change, not simply accepting the status quo.
