Creative minds inspire othersA new daily initiative I’m undertaking involves dedicating structured time for creative thinking. Believe me, that’s not as easy as it sounds, but I have discovered that creative thinking is a wonderful tool to be imaginative, wildly optimistic (definite mood lifter in these times!) and a forum to seek input from others on testing waters for new ideas. The great part about creativity is that it can’t be used up and the more you create the better you get at it! Creating puts you in a place of beginnings, not endings.
Henri Matisse, well known for his use of colour in his fluid drawings once said that creative people are curious, flexible, persistent and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play. Great characteristics in which to grow personally and professionally I say.
There’s certainly plenty for us to be creative about. Our new digital expanse is limitless, providing an amazing source of opportunities for us all. At its heart, creative thinking is the ability to consider something in a new way. It involves open-mindedness, problem-solving skills, organisation and communication of ideas. This additional time is a gift and it’s essential that we all put our best thinking into the times we are living in.
Creative minds don’t follow rules. They follow will. And so the old proverb of where there is a will there is a way rings true here and with my imagination and optimism I’m excited about the future and what I can create.
Yours sincerely,
