Creativity is in everyone
According to ‘Creativity in Business’ by Michael Ray and Rochelle Myers, creativity is an Essence found in every individual. This ‘essence’ consists of five qualities. Namely, ‘infinite intuition, complete will, absolute shimmering joy, overwhelming strength, and boundless compassion‘. Every individual should be able to express consistent creativity and failure to do so is often because of ‘fear, negative personal judgement, and the chattering of your mind’ (p9).
I believe that creativity and innovation are the cornerstones of an adaptable businessperson. Learning to adapt to changing environments requires a person to constantly seek creativity and innovation in his or her life. Being a perfectionist and judgemental person, on the other hand, will certainly create barriers to consistent creativity. After all, a creation or innovation is seldom at its best when it is first formulated. Further development is almost always necessary.
Unfortunately, that is precisely what I hope to unlearn - my perfectionistic and judgemental tendencies. Much like the name of this site, the ‘bochup’ is there to remind me to be bochup.
