The more I try to tap into my creative juices, the more I appreciate people who have endless streams of creative ideas.
Being creative all of the time can be a lot of work. It’s not always natural and while it might be playful when you are engaged, sometimes getting engaged is challenging, and there is no coasting creatively.
If you aren’t conscious of keeping the conditions creatively fertile it is much easier to fall into the hum drum of doing whats familiar all of the time.
I am pretty sure this is why the standard greeting is “hi, how are you?”
We eat the same foods, and we have similar conversations without even thinking about it.
The people who take the time to come up with creative ideas for conversation, for solving problems, and for cooking food deserve a lot more credit than we give them.
It takes effort to do the same old things new and different.
