12 Cosas Que No Te enseñaron En La Escuela Sobre El Pensamiento Creativo

1. Eres creativo . El artista no es una persona especial, cada uno de nosotros es un tipo especial de artista. Cada uno de nosotros nace siendo un pensador creativo y espontáneo. La única diferencia entre las personas creativas y las que no lo son es una simple creencia. Las personas creativas creen que lo son. Las personas que creen que no lo son, no lo son. Una vez que tienes una identidad particular y un conjunto de creencias sobre ti mismo, te interesas en buscar las habilidades necesarias para expresar tu identidad y creencias. Es por eso que las personas que creen que son creativas se vuelven creativas. Si crees que no lo eres, entonces no hay necesidad de aprender a ser creativo y no lo haces. La realidad es que creer que no eres creativo te excusa de intentar o intentar algo nuevo. Cuando alguien te dice que no es creativo, estás hablando con alguien que no tiene interés y no hará ningún esfuerzo por ser un pensador creativo.

In my experience, many of the people I know who say that they are not creative were embarrassed by someone at some point--often when they were young--for deigning to step out of their box. So when they look at 'creativity' which is complex, mysterious and uncertain they shut down. They see something hard and likely to get their heart smashed. Sometimes a little nurturing and some small steps is all it takes to bring creativity back for people.

I was very inspired and intrigued by point # 5.. I wonder if you could recommend any further reading on this topic? I would love to "acasually imagine" good things for myself.. I don't understand much about this though.

I had a different interpretation regarding "mental disorder". To paraphrase the authors words: A person must see unexpected connections in things but not necessarily have a mental disorder.

I disagree that you must not have a mental disorder to create. In fact, many of the great creatives I know have a mental disorder (or three) - sometimes that actually allows them to get outside of themselves in a quicker fashion than those that do not. However, I really like the bulk of this article - thank you for posting it.

Thinking creatively is built into everyone; all that's needed is to wake up to the power and use it. Let go of old beliefs of fear and negativity and open up to the Love Energy that is always flowing outward and upward, to inspire and co-create with Spirit. Be that co-creator and pass along that creative energy of Love as it may express through you: service, art, music, dance, poetry, prose, prayer & meditation, healing touch, etc. etc. !!
