To be creative means to be masculine. Note: I do not say “to be a man”. Indeed, there is a big difference between the deeds which require feminine yielding and the deeds requiring masculine perseverance. Creation is a deed of the latter kind. Here masculine merits are required. To be creative you have to be:

• courageous – in order to dare, to stand up and speak aloud. And also – to be ready to respond to “how dare you!” and “it’s bullshit!”.
• expansive – I mean readiness to endeavor, to invade new frontiers and foreign territories. Willingness to expand your will and yourself. Not to hide and keep quit, afraid of being hurt.
• rival – because it is quite likely that the territory you aim at already belongs to someone. You have to prove you deserve it. Otherwise – defeat the adversary!
• generous – because it is impossible to create “for free”. You spend you powers and give the results away. You do this instead of being miser and saving your power and money.
• persistent – you cannot create being lazy. Creation takes lots of time and effort. Don’t even think about "I am too week\dumb\tired, I will not succeed…"!

That is why Churchill addresses men in this saying: "Boys, never never never never give up". Feminine girls cannot give up, as they have nothing to give up. Femininity implies that things just happen to you. Without any effort. It just happened on its own. I happen to be pregnant. It was growing inside of me during 9 months on its own. The main merit of femininity is to stay patient and not to interfere with the things that happen to her (or to him: there are feminine men as well). To yield, to let go, to surrender to power. And save what you have. As things just happen to you, you can never know when you will receive some goods from those who have power. 

To the contrast, masculinity is based upon power. This power is given away freely. In fact, power cannot exist other way than in constant cycle of giving away\application and returning back. By creation you discharge a vessel so that a new fresh power may fill it again. Backwater will start to fester soon. You may try to save your masculine power by not using it at all and see what happens.

That is why the most awkward in creation is a situation of loosing power to create. It is hard to find a better word for this situation than impotency. It happens when you look at a blank paper and realize that there is nothing on Earth you could do with it. At all. You have no creative power to do anything with it. And you start thinking:"Is it forever indeed? Have I turned dumb for good and now only capable to passively perceive others’ work? "

To turn things worse, creative power just as masculine power can not be taken by will, persuasion, threat, and reproachful look. You are not able and that’s it. The only thing you can do is to leave a woman a piece of paper alone, calm down, and turn to some other deeds. The power will come back eventually. Creative and masculine power is a natural thing. You have to really break down something in your system to make power leave you forever.

Therefore, anyway: Boys (and girls), never never never never give up! Turn to your inner masculinity and create.
