Are you a Creator? Do you Want to be One?
The creative spark of any endeavor begins with a spark of inspiration, a scintillating splendor that grows and blossoms into a full experience. Find your spark.
Enriching Imagination
Your imagination is sort of like a muscle. If you don’t exercise it regularly, it’ll atrophy. And limited imagination makes a limited person.
The reigning benefit of any creative endeavor is that it pushes the limits of your mind, works out the muscle of imagination, and makes you a richer and smarter person in the process.
Subversive Thinking
To think is to be, and you’ve probably asked yourself at some point, “Who do I want to be? Who can I be?” Well, how far are you willing to think?
The modern world is a playground for subversive thinkers. It is where the innovators, challengers, and creators thrive, and the first step to become one of them is through creativity.
