      You Can Create! 24 Ways to Unlock Your Creative Potential - Richard P John

      Introduction

      Creativity takes courage.

      -  Henri Matisse

      ––––––––

      You can create!

      We are all born with the ability to be creative.

      A lot of people wish to be more creative in their life and work, but they find that generating new ideas doesn’t always come easy.

      Creativity isn’t something you have or don’t have, it is something you choose to do.

      We can all produce something new; a new solution, a new method, a new form, a new artistic work, a new business, a new song.

      A lot of people don’t think of themselves as creative, thinking it is something bestowed upon a few gifted individuals, but that isn’t true.

      Creativity is just a mental skill, as much as playing the piano or being an athlete is.

      Creativity is about finding ways to connect ideas to make a whole.

      Creativity takes courage, expansive thinking, hard work and determination.

      Creativity is a decision and a mindset that seeks answers to questions and solutions to problems.

      Talent and creativity often have little to do with each other. Skill is the number one element and skills are there to be learnt.

      Creativity doesn’t necessarily have to mean producing something new, it can be about improving or adding to something in a different, surprising or innovative way.

      The only difference between a creative person and a non-creative person is that a creative person doesn’t question whether he or she is creative, they simply create.

      But how exactly do they do it?

      How do they go from what appears to be nothing, say, a blank page or a blank canvas, to make something that wasn’t there before? How have they learned to see things differently, take in the world around them, filter it through their own system and then share with us their own vision and version of the world? How have they learned to work constantly at their work and to never give up?

      This is what I hope to teach you in this book. I hope to convince you that you can create whatever you want or dream to and that creativity isn’t limited to the Mozart’s, Einstein’s and Picasso’s of the world.

      Of course, nobody can tell you what to create, that decision is up to you. Only you know what is inside of you.

      If you have a desire to create, then you can create.

      If you are itching to put something into the world that wasn’t there yesterday, then you can create.

      If you really want to make a dent in the universe, then you can create.

      1 - Start Anywhere

      The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

      -  Albert Einstein

      ––––––––

      One of the most difficult parts of beginning a creative project is exactly that — the beginning.

      Taking a blank page, raw materials, picking up an instrument, and finding a starting point is what stumps many a potentially creative person.

      They start their project but quickly run out of steam and come to a halt, not knowing how to progress.

      Beginning a project is daunting and the end can seem far away.

      So why not start at the end? Or the middle?

      If you’re thinking
