M: Jenny, are you crying? What’s wrong?
W: Oh Dad, I’m so worried about my first big project in freshman art class this semester. The project is due in two weeks, and it’s worth 25 percent of my final grade!
M: Jenny, you’re having trouble in art class? … But you’re wonderful at art. You love art! Everyone loves that series of pictures you painted of our cat, Giant!
W: Who wouldn’t love paintings of a small white cat named “Giant”? But that was in High School! This is the university where everyone is mature and behaves like an adult! I need excellent ideas! I need to be truly creative! University students must behave like real artists.
M: Oh honey, maybe that’s the problem here. First of all, life is a journey, not a destination. Adult behaviors emerge over time and you’re doing just fine! Your behaviors show us that you’re already traveling on the road to being a mature adult AND a mature artist.
W: Thanks Dad. It means a lot to hear that you and mom are proud of my adult behaviors. But I am really worried about my creativity for my art project. What if I create something wrong and everyone laughs at me?
M: Jenny, you can’t force creativity by worrying! The best behaviors for creativity are trial and error and some risk! You have to be able to take ideas and keep working with them for good art to grow. Be bold, Jenny!
W: Even if someone laughs or the art work is a failure?
M: Well, those are basic risks of art, and life. Right? Adults succeed in life because they are willing to risk, because they accept new challenges to be creative without being too afraid of the outcome. I believe in you, Jenny!
