Creativity is very important in life. It makes your work very easy and successful. It makes life blended with colour. When you flourish creativity, every moment of life will be meaningful. All people want to be creative, it is a part of life.
You can see some peoples are highly creative. Some introduce themselves as non-creative. Some tried to be creative but they are trapped in a way to do so. I am going to share you one best method to flourish your creativity.
I found most peoples are trapped in becoming creative. They have a common belief that creativity is entirely a new thing. But it is a misconception. If you want to be creative, you must first necessary to be free from this belief. Many people are not aware of how their own belief is blocking them to be creative.
Creativity seems new but it always rests on old. Think about it carefully. No new thing can be built without old. The old is what is already existing. It is a prerequisite condition for creativity. You know what is existing around. It means you already have foundation for creativity, haven't you?
Steve Jobs, one of the most creative and successful people in the world, quoted as "Good artist copy, great artist steal." This implies nothing is new in the world. Creativity arises from what is already existing.
"Start copying what you love. Copy copy copy. At the end of the copy, you will find your self."
- Yohji Yamamoto
The copy here doesn't mean plagiarism. If you do not like the word "copy", you can use "practice" instead.
To flourish creativity, you should go through following two steps:
1. First you should choose what you like most. For example, if you want to flourish painting art, choose the one of the best painting that inspires you.
2. Copy or practise enough until you familiarize with it. You should practise by copying original art. What is the result?
You begin to internalize the way or pattern subconsciously that makes painting best. Your mind will realize what is needed to be done. Or it unconsciously knows how to do that way. In the next time, when you make any art, that internalized pattern will guide you. You will be amazed at how fast you can master the art. At this time, you will not copy the art, you create in your way.
Conclusion
You are a creative being. Creativity makes our life easy and meaningful. There is a misconception that creativity is an entirely new thing. To flourish creativity, you should throw away this misconception from your mind. Creativity always exists in what has existed. A child learns by copying. So it is not plagiarism. Learning by copying internalize the pattern which ultimately flourishes your creativity.
