Unfortunately no matter how many times you have been told to be 'unique' or come up with a 'new idea' you will never truly do so. This is because every idea we ever come up with is based on a previous experience, this is something I've already discussed in the past however this time I'm going to contradict myself and tell you there are ideas out there that haven't come to surface yet. Does this mean they don't exist? no. But it does mean there is an opportunity to bring them to light. Yes every idea is based off a previous experience, so how do you come up with something 'new'? you try to look two steps ahead. Or three, or even four. Creativity isn't about making something out of thin air, it's about taking what's already out there and finding a new approach, or a new insight. Try to understand that taking a step back to see what's already available, and then taking two steps forward by utilising that knowledge, will help you find a greater sense of creativity. |
