Chaos, Calm & Creativity

It’s a myth that Happiness generally comes with calm, complacent serenity. Happiness flows from action, achievement, accomplishment and activity.

Our happiest moments often come at our most exuberant, creative times. Most people feel extraordinarily happy when they are in their most creative state. Creativity comes with energy and excitement.

“In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and what did that produce - the cuckoo clock!”
~ Orson Wells, The Third Man, 1949.

Happiness often comes from creativity, with energy and excitement.
