5 Ingredients of Creativity

Creativity

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. ~Albert Einstein

The 5 ingredients of creativity are intention, know-how, thinking, perseverance, and environment

  1. Intention: Without a goal or an objective to work on, nothing will come out of your creativity. There must be something that you have a passion for it and you are interested to create and discover.

  1. Know-how: You can’t be creative on certain subjects without a foundation of a particular kind of knowledge. With a store of the information of what you know you can then work from the known to the unknown using your imagination.

  1. Thinking: Intense thinking allows your mind to link the store of information to create new ideas. Ideas come like a bolt of lightning at any time, provided you feed enough thoughts into your mind

  1. Perseverance: It took Thomas Edison for many years and thousands of failures to invent the light bulb. Creativity is to possess the will-power to continue after many failures. Be confident to know if there is a will there is away.

  1. Environment: To be creative a little pressure is better than none at all. You will not take things easy and you will concentrate fully and intensely on the project. There should be no disturbance to interrupt your train of thoughts.

Ideas are brewed from your creative thoughts and you need the five favorable factors for creativity.
