Creative Is Not Artistic The vast majority of us have conditioned our minds to equate “creative” with “artistic.” It is not! Creativity is not a trait you are either born or not born with.
We Are Not Born With It The notion that some people have creativity embedded in their DNA and some people don’t is a myth. We all have tons of creative potential waiting to be tapped. Even though creativity gets blocked in us, it can be unlocked. All it takes to regain your creative sparks is for you to change your mindset — to lose all the erroneous notions.
About Creativity
Self Efficacy
Creative confidence is about believing in your innate ability to change your world.
People who come to believe that they can cause change are more likely to accomplish what they set out to do.
Think Like A Traveler
To keep your creative juice flowing, you must think like a traveler.
When we are in a new environment, we tend to notice every detail, from street signs to mailboxes. On a trip, we observe the environment around us with intense curiosity.
Beginner’s Mind
To keep inspired, you must engage a beginner’s mind.
When we were kids, we asked lots of questions and looked at the world wide–eyed, soaking it all in. Everywhere we turned, we think, “Isn’t that interesting?”
And to keep our beginner's mind, we need to imagine, in other words, we need imagination, you can imagine your future lifestyle when you win when you are in high school, imagination takes us everywhere.
Creativity Needs Action
Stop planning and start doing.
Great creative works are always preceded by action.
When you apply the beginner’s mindset, you will begin to notice more opportunities for action around you. However, seeing is not enough.
You still have to act!
All the planning and talking without action are actually signs that you are afraid. You want everything to be perfect before you start creating.
The truth is Great ideas come from unusual brains.
Surround yourself with creativity and motivational people
Having a strong support network will ensure you have a regular flow of ideas.
The truth is that creative people treat creativity as a team sport; most of their best ideas stem from collaborating with other people.
Surround yourself with like–minded people who can help reinforce or challenge your points of view.
Love What You Do
If what you do for a living isn’t what you’re passionate about, think again!
People have one of three distinct attitudes toward the work they do: they see it as either a job, a career, or a calling.
Experiment With Different Activities
To identify new areas of interest and ability, experiment with lots of different activities.
You must get a taste of a different field or position before you make a drastic change and commit.
Talk to your boss about exploring new responsibilities. In these short–term roles, take note of the moments that you feel energized or at your best.
