学校では教えてもらえなかった創造的思考に関する12のこと

1.あなたは創造的です。アーティストは特別な人ではなく、私たち一人一人が特別な種類のアーティストです。私たちは皆、創造的で自発的な思考者として生まれます。創造的な人とそうでない人の唯一の違いは、単純な信念です。創造的な人は、自分は創造的だと信じています。創造的ではないと信じている人は、創造的ではありません。自分自身についての特定のアイデンティティと一連の信念を持つと、そのアイデンティティと信念を表現するために必要なスキルを追求することに興味を持つようになります。これが、自分は創造的だと信じている人が創造的になる理由です。自分は創造的ではないと信じている場合、創造的になる方法を学ぶ必要はありませんし、実際に学びません。実際には、自分は創造的ではないと信じることで、新しいことに挑戦したり、試みたりするのを免除されます。誰かがあなたに自分は創造的ではないと言うとき、あなたは創造的思考者になることに興味がなく、努力もしない人と話しているのです。

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. !!
