Be Optimistic…Be Creative

Optimism is a powerful catalyst for our creativity.  The presence of optimism is one way to identify someone’s mindset. Optimism is not something that we can easily drum up or fake.  We can however increase our levels of optimism.  Before we attempt to increase optimism we must probe inner thoughts about life, about our purpose and about what is coming in the future.

I’d argue that the truth about why we exist, the truth about the nature of the human-kind and the truth about the long term future gives great reason for unrestrained optimism about almost everything.  So we have good reason to be optimistic.

Optimism inspires creativity because genuine optimism liberates mental clutter and emotional wounds that often restrains creativity.

Optimism is defined as an inclination to put the most favorable construction upon actions and events or to anticipate the best possible outcome.

To anticipate the best possible outcome.’

Be optimistic,,, be creative this week.

Watch Your Creative Cycles

Creativity Cycle

I have noticed a cycle involved with Human Creatvity.

Creative people build and package products, services, performances and information. 

People consume these and reward the creators for their creations in various ways, mostly financial.

These creations then get emulated, copied and plagiarized by those who are not inclined to create.

Eventually the creators move on to new creations, the consumption plateaus, the plagarizers wear it out and kill it, then they begin to copy again.

This cycle happens in every aspect of business, in music, even in certain religions and it happens in our own lives. The curious thing is that without the creators, the cycle never starts, death reigns and expands.  Without creative people economies and civilization itself begins to rot.

Watch your own creative cycles.  Are you creating, consuming or copying? In that first creating step is where all people belong, intentionally creating all of the time, this is how we were created to be, not to only consume, and not to ever plagiarise. 

Creative people are like sources of new life and preservation to our economy and to our wealth. Choose a field, choose one of your gifting and start to create, then always remain in that creativity stage, soon other people will consume and copy what you make.

Today’s Few Words

 

I love words, they have power in this world, books, e-books, blog posts, podcast episodes, speeches, research reports, patents,  these are all just words, words which record and inspire human creativity.

What about you? What will you do with your words today? You decide, will you use them to create or to destroy? Will you discourage or will you inspire?
