The Equations of Creativity

The equation of creativity is often misunderstood as idea equals creativity. But in reality, idea plus action is what breeds true creativity. Simply having thoughts is not equivalent to having ideas.

Many individuals struggle with creativity because they have the order wrong. The correct order begins with recognizing oneself as a creative being. Understanding and embracing this identity set the foundation for unleashing creative potential. Feeling creative follows, as emotions fuel the creative process. When individuals align with their creative identity and emotions, they naturally begin to think creatively and act on their ideas.
