Creativity: How to live the best creative life possible | Simon Brushfield

To be genuinely creative means following instincts and not worrying about what other people think. ... Everyone is creative.

And so begins Brushfield's blog message. He follows by describing "7 simple points to help maximize your unique creativity."

I read a lot of articles about developing and strengthening individual and workplace creativity, and many of them give similar advice. But I think Brushfield's blog provides some unique, useful perspectives.

Here are headings for each of his points:

• Often intuitive creativity goes against what everybody else thinks is right.
• There are most definitely no short cuts.
• Relating well to other people helps us live our best creative life.
• Accept the fact that not everybody is going to love you.
• It’s guaranteed … other people are needed to achieve a person’s dreams.
• Captivate an audience with unique brilliance and forget looking at other people to compete with them.
• Never give up on that special dream for life.
