Creativity… from the Heart!
“We are not going to achieve a safe driving into the complex environment of the future, if we are constantly glued to the driver’s mirror. If we act like this, we are probably brainless.”
—Ken Robinson
So, how can we manage to become “brain-full”? To “snap off” from driver’s mirror?
There are “tools” which we can use. These tools are products of the mind such as best practices that derived by various scientific fields, the rules of mathematics, the project management. Whatever we learn from our Euclidian or non-Euclidian education
But, for being truly creative heart is needed! It is needed to feel, to love what she is doing. To surrender totally and to leave herself to travel! To forget! To empty her mind and leave the unconscious to work. To be left in the complete uncertainty and this can take place only when mind is “off”. It is then the time for creativity to emerge!
And then, the “tools” can be used so as this creativity to be “translated” into a certain product/service which will be addressed to the world and will be understandable by the world. It will be likeable by a certain part of the world and it will be useful to the world. These “tools” are the vehicles through which creativity is expressed.
The combination of “mind” & “heart”, and by giving heart h higher priority, can provide us with an exceptional result!
