How to Posses A Creative Mindset.

I once asked myself this Question; Can creativity be taught?

I then looked closely into it and discovered it’s a question without a Yes or No answer

Creativity as it is may not be able to be taught directly, but you can get it better by frequently aligning the circumstances of life which foster the greatest chances for true creative expression. Creativity Is no like a lightning strike, but more like something that manifests itself inside those who learn to foster it and create the right conditions for it to prosper and strive to its fullest.

Possesing Creativity in 3 steps…

1. Follow your own pattern: The moment you ask for peoples opinion, you will definitely be infused with that persons preconceived notions or ideas of what the outcome will or should be. Other peoples opinion about your idea will unconsciously push you in the direction that thy see it best, though this is done in good intentions but it hurts you inner creative self, this is different from sharing an idea. Sharing your ideas is good but do it when you’ve created the perfect picture by yourself no from others opinions if you truly want to find your own path of creative self-expression. Once the creative work is done, whatever happens then you can listen to Feedbacks, just don’t let criticism stifle your creativity during creative process.

2. Let go of the “Correct or Incorrect” syndrome: Your natural output for creating something correct or incorrect will always yield creative results. There are limitless paths that leads to achieving absolute creativity. The imperfect nature in us humans and sometimes the most creative artists leave some grave mistake unfixed on purpose. Someone said nature itself is beautifully imperfect. Many of us try to be so perfect that the way they scrub away the major ingredient that made their work special in the first place creates the greatest challenges later. You have to work on the so called “BAD IDEAS” too, even if you are coming up with what you feel are the “BAD IDEAS”, in a way you are still being creative, so you’ve gotta develop them, and they could turn into a great solution after all.

3. The last thing is to Ignore the PAST: if you really to be creative, you’ve got to ignore or forget what the past holds, ignore what the world has created, yours is the BETA version of whatever has been on ground till this moment. Sometimes considering the past can make you place a sort of unconscious time stamp on a particular style or pattern. Create things from your inner self that do not draw any inspiration from what has come previously or you even considering it, your inspiration must come from a divine source God who is the creator of all creations. In a creative state of mind, time does not exist, a moment can seem to last for hours and you are completely immersed in the present .
