Your unique creativity is slipping away.
It’s almost gone.
Once upon a time — You were a creative little boy. But then, you grew up. And your unique creativity started slipping away.
Little by little — Starting in school — where you learned to fear failure.
Your unique creativity is slipping.
Maybe you’ve seen the new sci-fi movie Annihilation, by Alex Garland. But whether you’ve seen it or not —
A central question asked by that film is: “When — and why — do we stop being ourselves?” And you may also have heard this quote — by Pablo Picasso (pictured above):
“All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
In other words — It’s not easy to hold on to your creavitity.
It’s not too late.
Here’s the good news: Most of what you lost slipped away when you weren’t looking. But it’s not too late to have a good look — And get back to where you once belonged.
Have a go.
This is the first step to getting your unique creativity back —
“Even if you don’t know — have a go.”
In other words –Even when you don’t know the answer — don’t be afraid to go after the answer.
And — Be prepared to be wrong.
You might be wrong.
Because if you’re serious about getting your unique creativity back — Please watch this short video. And then come right back so we can collect the nuggets and get you back out there.
