On today’s episode of Creative Space, we’re going to dive into the two most basic creative types: hawks and hummingbirds.

In my creative journey so far, I’ve encountered people who fall into one of these two categories. Could there be more? Most definitely. Could we be both hawks and hummingbirds at different periods in our lives? Of course. I myself have had that experience.

But I wanted to bring up this concept today because I think it may be helpful for any creatives out there who have a natural inclination to explore different mediums. More often than not, it’s frowned upon and seen as failure or quitting. I encourage you to see the hummingbird approach to creativity to be equally as valid and necessary as the hawk approach.

I have articles on my website if you’re interesting in learning more about this concept.

Would love to know what you think, so feel free to reach drop a comment below.
