The impacts of suppressing or denying the creative spirit are quite varied and what is observed depends on the individual, the task being performed and the environment in which it is performed. The main understanding is that it is the passion that lies within the individual’s creative spirit that gives them the energy and ability to function and perform in any task. When the creative spirit is denied or suppressed, there is a loss of energy and the creative spirit withdrawals. If it is an acute or temporary situation, the creative spirit will most probably return and the individual will regain their energy and passion. However if the situation creates a chronic condition and there is a consistent and continual denial or suppression of the creative spirit, there will be a permanent loss of energy. Exactly how that loss of energy is manifested depends on the individual and the situation. Lethargy, depression, illness, inattention to details and the like are not uncommon. In hazardous situations inattention can result in an accident. In any case suppressing or denying the creative spirit for an extended period of time creates a loss of energy and enthusiasm to act in some way.

What we need to understand is that because the energy that sustains the individual is a creative life energy, if the individual is not allowed to consciously create, both internally and externally in some way, they will nonconsciously create typically through accident, illness, disease, and other types and kinds of problems in their life to challenge their creativity. Additionally, if what the individual does in life does not make the individual feel alive in some way, they will slowly shutdown the flow of their creative life energy withdrawing it internally and externally. Along with the loss of flow is a loss of awareness for awareness arises from the flow of energy. As awareness is lost the potential to overlook something of important that could create an accident or some other issue simply increases because the individual is no longer sufficiently aware and awake to prevent it. From an organizational view, if an individual is going to create problems in their life, it is undesirable to create them in the work place or carry them into the workplace from some other source. Understanding the flow of one’s creative life energy can greatly assist in understanding what causes organizational failures, and/or accidents or other similar organizational problems.

On this note of creating accidents or problems in the workplace it is important to realize the amount of time that is spent at work. It needs to be realized, an individual has 8760 hours of life a year (365 days time 24 hours a day). A normal year of work is about 2080 hours (52 weeks x 5 days x 8 hours). Subtracting maybe 6 holidays and 2 weeks of vacation or 128 hours leaves 1952 hours at work a year which is 22 percent of one’s life. Now if you sleep 7 hours a day (365 days x 7 hours per day) you sleep 2555 hours per year. That leaves you awake doing something only 6205 hours a year. Now 1952 hour is 31 percent of one’s awake life. If one works more than 8 hours a day, the percentage only goes up. So if one is going to deplete their energy and cause some serious misfortune or problem in their life while they are awake, there is a very good chance it will be done at work and affect other workers since almost one third of one’s life is at work. Yet, organization managers will say, "It is not my responsibility if the individual is not getting satisfaction out of the job" never realizing they may be creating their own problems by what they are doing or not doing to their employees.
