Exploring Your Creative Genius: Episode 95

 

In last week’s show I shared the 3 Principles of a Creatively Entrepreneurial Mindset.

1. Being Intentionally Creatively Entrepreneurial

2. Taking Multiple Creative PerspectiveS

2. A Bias for Action

That’s not a misprint—the two #2’s dance together, first one leads then the other.

I shared the great news that since we are all born with remarkable creative qualities all it takes is for you to declare — to yourself first and then the world — that from now on you are going to be and become the most creative and innovative and entrepreneurial and adaptive and collaborative version of yourself you can be, and when you make the declaration, you enjoy your first win.

For in that authentic moment of declaration your perspectiveS on the world changes. The 4 P Professions — poets, psychologists, philosophers and physicists — each from their unique vantage points, they all agree that we don’t see the world the way it is, we see it the way we are.

So you begin to see the world as a creative person sees the world. The change in your perspectiveS will be incremental initially, but notice I didn’t write just incremental because if you see an opportunity just a bit differently today then yesterday, that might be all it takes to get the most useful view.

Looking for a way to be Intentional?  How about for the next couple of days you be Generous. Generous with your friends by listening more closely, perhaps. Generous with new ideas by trying to see the best of them. Generous with yourself in providing needed refresh. Being Generous is Being Generative, so try it out and see what happens.

“Exploring Your Creative Genius” takes an expansive view on what it means to be creative and entrepreneurial in an ongoing conversation led by Carl Nordgren — entrepreneur, novelist, and lifelong student with decades of experience growing his own creative capacity and assisting others to do the same in exciting new ways!
