“Anxiety is the handmaiden of creativity”
— Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:
Feeling anxious often goes hand-in-hand with being very creative. When someone is creative, they come up with new ideas or make art, music, or solve problems in different ways. This process can make a person nervous because they might be worried about whether their ideas will work or what others will think. Think of famous inventors like Thomas Edison. When he created the light bulb, he tried many times and often faced failure and stress. His anxiety didn't stop him; it actually pushed him to work harder and come up with better ideas. So, if you feel nervous while working on something new, remember that these feelings are normal and can actually help you create something amazing. Embrace the worry and use it to fuel your creativity.
