August’s theme is Critical, chosen by Creative Mornings Calgary, illustrated by Maedeh Mosaverzadeh, and presented by MailChimp.

To be critical means to be like a sieve, dividing and separating. Our critical abilities allows us to discern the insubstantial from the made-to-last, the credible from the untrustworthy, the sincere from the ego-driven. 

Critical feedback is essential for our growth. But being needlessly critical — especially of ourselves — can stifle the creative impulse. How can we hone our perception, spotting what needs to evolve, without becoming ruthless? How can we remain astute while not losing sight of all that is inherently good and whole? It’s critical.  #CMCritical #Creativemornings
