All creatives, whether amateur or professional, feel that occasional gut instinct that their idea isn't creative enough. The way we measure a true creative is by looking at those who put that feeling aside and those who do it anyway. Because as a human that feeling is inevitable, it's so easy to doubt ourselves but creativity isn't about something being 'more creative' or better than something else. It's about having the willpower to explore, doing things differently, having a sense of spontaneity and putting ideas into action no matter where they end up. Next time you feel yourself doubting an idea, have a 'screw it I'll do it anyway' moment, and see where it takes you. |
