Creativity Is Limitless and Infinite

Being an all around artist, I know how important creativity can be. There are times when my creativity is on overload and it constantly keeps pouring out. Then, there are times when my creativity as at a complete standstill and facing that dreaded "block" us creatives hate. But, there is one thing I know for certain it's that creativity is limitless.
Over the years, when it comes to your social media or even your artistic style, I always heard this one statement over and over which is
"Find your niche and stick with it."
Although I can understand that kind of marketing and the reasoning behind it. Part of me, however, feels like that can be detrimental to a creative person. To me, when I hear "find your niche and stick with it" it almost sounds like "find your comfort zone and stay there" and we all know nothing ever grows in a comfort zone. But, what's amazing to me is even with limiting oneself in their creative process and sticking with their niche or style, there's always something "new". To give more context, when I challenged myself to write everyday for 125 Days I thought to myself "How on Earth am I going to come up with something new everyday?" and I would think to myself that I would run out of things to say. But I didn't. Even when I wrote about the same subject matter, I wrote it in a new and completely different way. When you think about how many stories, songs, and artworks have been created and how different each one is, it's kind of mind-blowing. Even if there is similarly between two works, there is still something different about them that makes each one unique. Even think about people, over 7 billion people in this world and everyone looks different. So where am I getting at? Why is creativity limitless and infinite?
As I've stated before I'm a spiritual person and I believe, like God, we carry the essence of creation and, to me, God is infinite and limitless. We have seen how far we've come as a civilization innovating new ideas and clearly there doesn't seem to be no end in sight because the mind truly is limitless when it comes to creating. That's why I don't truly believe is sticking with one niche or style, the mind is meant to expand because no matter how much you try to limit it, it always breaks free.
