Zero In on Nothingness
The best way to become more creative is to create nothing. By this, I mean that you should return to zero point. Ilchi Lee advice that rid yourself of all the mental and emotional blocks that keep you from manifesting your full creative potential. These are the preconceptions and emotional memories that prevent you from living your dreams fully.
Ironically, it is your ego that prevents you from creating what you truly want. Your ego says to you, “I am this,” or, “I should be that,” which often stops you from doing what you really want to do. For example, you may have always wanted to learn to sing well, but your ego says, “I don’t have musical talent,” or, “I will probably embarrass myself if I sing.” These things are usually rooted in your past experiences, times when you were hurt by others or were discouraged in some way. To challenge your brain more, try to let go of these old memories and self-imposed limitations.
True genius is not about retaining a lot of information and performing well on intelligence tests, but rather it is about being able to use that information in unique ways. Anyone can be a genius in some way because everyone possesses creative ability. But you must believe you have limitless potential in order to manifest your genius fully. Tell yourself every day, “I am a genius,” and believe it. When such a thought is completely and honestly formed in your mind, you will find that creativity begins to flow naturally from your brain throughDahn Y.
So to become more creative, begin to watch the internal conversations you have with yourself. How are you limited and boxed in by your current thinking about yourself? How does it stop you from doing what you really want to do? What emotional patterns prevent you from pursuing your dreams?
Let go of illusions about how to be creative. Many believe that great geniuses get an idea out of the blue one day, and all they have to do is to seize that idea and put it into action. Such is not the case. Before they were able to take off into the sky, the Wright brothers went through hundreds of experiments. For the wing alone, they tried out over two hundred variations.
Be patient in allowing your creativity to blossom. The “aha!” moment of inspiration comes when knowledge, experience, and ideas coalesce; it is the moment the brain connects them. It is crucial to know that until the light bulb in the brain turns on, there must be constant planning, a determined will, and a whole lot of trial and error.
The most important point is to do something. If you have a good idea, you must act on it or it will be meaningless. As you are involved in executing an idea, new ideas will come to you. As you repeat this cycle, solutions to your problems will be found and you will become more creative. Creativity is not the result of chance and luck. Creativity happens through focus, determination, and passion.
