How to Master Creativity and Uncover Your Creative Genius
Metadata
Highlights
- The creative process is the act of making new connections between old ideas or recognizing relationships between concepts. Creative thinking is not about generating something new from a blank slate, but rather about taking what is already present and combining those bits and pieces in a way that has not been done previously.
- In any creative endeavor, you have to give yourself permission to create junk. There is no way around it.
- Genius arrives when you show up enough times to get the average ideas out of the way.
-
There are no artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, or scientists who became great by half-finishing their work. Stop debating what you should make and just make something.
-
The world needs people who put creative work out into the world. What seems simple to you is often brilliant to someone else. But you’ll never know that unless you choose to share.
