Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Creativity is any act, idea, or product that changes an existing domain, or that transforms an existing domain into a new one What counts is whether the novelty he or she produces is accepted for inclusion in the domain.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
To be creative, a person has to internalize the entire system that makes creativity possible. Creative individuals are remarkable for their ability to adapt to almost any situation and to make do with whatever is at hand to reach their goals.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives...most of the things that are interesting, important, and human are the results of creativity...when we are involved in it, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Studying creativity is not an elite distraction, but provides one of the most exciting models for living.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
When we are involved in [creativity], we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
If there is one word that makes creative people different from others, it is the word complexity. Instead of being an individual, they are a multitude. Like the color white that includes all colors, they tend to bring together the entire range of human possibilities within themselves. Creativity allows for paradox, light, shadow, inconsistency, even chaos -and creative people experience both extremes with equal intensity.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Problems are solved only when we devote a great deal of attention to them and in a creative way...to have a good life, it is not enough to remove what is wrong with it. We also need a positive goal, otherwise why keep going? Creativity is one answer to that question - It provides one of the most exciting models for living.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Each of us is born with two contradictory sets of instructions: a conservative tendency, made up of instincts for self-preservation, self-aggrandizement, and saving energy, and an expansive tendency made up of instincts for exploring, for enjoying novelty and risk-the curiosity that leads to creativity belongs to this set. But whereas the first tendency requires little encouragement or support from outside to motivate behaviour, the second can wilt if not cultivated.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Creative individuals tend to be smart, yet also naive at the same time... Creative individuals have a combination of playfulness and discipline, or responsibility and irresponsibility.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
For better or worse, our future is now closely tied to human creativity.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
Faith is almost the bottom line of creativity; it requires a leap of faith any time we undertake a creative endeavor, whether this is going to the easel, or the page, or onto the stage.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
If you work on your creativity, you deepen your spirituality. And if you work on your spirituality, you deepen your creativity.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
I learned to just show up at the page and write down what I heard. Writing became more like eavesdropping and less like inventing a nuclear bomb.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
If you think of the universe as a vast electrical sea in which you are immersed and from which you are formed, opening to your creativity changes you from something bobbing in that sea to a more fully functioning, more conscious, more cooperative part of that ecosystem.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. As creative channels, we need to trust the darkness.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
All too often too often we try to push, pull, outline and control our ideas instead of letting them grow organically. The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
Just as blood is a fact of your physical body and nothing you invented, creativity is a fact of your spiritual body and nothing you must invent.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
The essential element in nurturing our creativity lies in nurturing ourselves.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
The refusal to be creative is an act of self-will and is counter to our true nature. When we are open to our creativity, we are opening to God: good, orderly direction. As we pursue our creative fulfillment, all elements of our life move toward harmony. As we strengthen our creativity, we strengthen our connection to the Creator within. Artists love other artists. Our relationship to God is co-creative, artist to artist. It is God's will for us to live in creative abundance.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good, orderly direction.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
When we survey our lives, seeking to fulfil our creativity, we often see we had a dream that went glimmering because we believed, and those around us believed, that the dream was beyond our reach.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
Next to Morning Pages and Artist Dates, the most potent tool for contacting inner guidance and creativity is walking.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
Your mood doesn't really matter. Some of the best creative work gets done on the days when you feel that everything you're doing is just plain junk.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
In dance, in composition, in sculpture, the experience is the same: we are more the conduit than the creator of what we express.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
You will learn to enjoy the process... and to surrender your need to control the result. You will discover the joy of practising your creativity. The process, not the product, will become your focus.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
Creativity is God's will for us and should be practiced like any other spiritual practice -a day at a time.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness... bright ideas are preceded by a gestation period that is interior, murky, and completely necessary.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
Writing responds well to some gentle scheduling. A day job not only promotes solvency, it promotes creativity as well.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
We are ourselves creations. We are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves. This is the God-force extending itself through us. Creativity is God's gift to us. Using creativity is our gift back to God.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
Creativity is our true nature; blocks are an unnatural thwarting of a process at once as normal and as miraculous as the blossoming of a flower at the end of a slender green stem.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care to cultivate it.
Quote by -Julia Cameron
Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.
