Recently, I ran across this online article entitled, Little Things Can Stop Creativity, written by Dr. Robert Alan Black, which is based on observations from Alexander Lockhart's book, “Positive Changes." In his article Dr. Black points out that…

There is only a letter difference between change and chance. It got my attention as another small thing that often stops my creativeness, or the creativeness of others I know and work with.

Being creative produces change. Many to most people resist change or at least resist being changed. Being creative often requires that we take a chance or chances. Being creative requires that we venture into unknown territory and chance failure.

To be more creative we need to accept change and chance, and that with either the other will occur. If you change something you take a chance of potential failure. If you take a chance, change will normally be the result. Examine the changes your ideas will produce.”

To improve creativity, remember that:

  1. Being creative produces change, and simple change produces creativity.
  2. Creativity requires chance. Work at taking bigger chances.
  3. Don’t react. Create.
  4. Remind yourself, “I Can. I Can. I Can.
  5. Examine successful ideas, then adapt them vs. imitate them.
  6. Change the metaphors in your life that are stopping you.
  7. The solution lies within the problem. If you continue looking you’ll find the answer.
  8. Look for small changes that will release and expand your creativity.

As a creative driver it’s time to make changes and take chances.
