Creative Thinking

I just love your "Balderdash and Piffle"

I think that we put too much strain on "creativity". As you say, we all have it. We just don't recognize it. I mean, how often do we talk our way out of something? Into something? How often do we manage our teenagers, our little ones, our bosses? Constantly we use our creativity, imagination...we just don't realize it. Make note of your daily activities, what you do, what happens in your day, and then see how creative you really are.

One more point, clear your brain. I mean really clear your brain. Do not allow any thoughts there, and then you will be surprised of what pops into your thoughts when you are receptive.

Creativity at Work

Creativity comes from the sum of one’s life experience. It pulls from knowledge, abilities, and skills. It uses neural pathways in the brain made by everything a person has learned and makes new ones as new connections form. It calls upon an ability to get beyond the ordinary, automatic response—to explore the inside and the outside of that darned proverbial box.

Still think you’re not creative? Maybe your definition of creative is too narrow. Some folks, who call themselves “creatives,” would have you believe that all creativity lies only in artistic endeavor. That brings me back to balderdash and piffle. Those folks aren’t creative in how they define creativity.

Ordinary folk have the power for creative thinking.

Creative thinking is essential to most every career on the planet. Businesses need creative thinkers to innovate, to manage risk, to meet ever-changing customer needs, to build efficient processes and solve complex problems.
