A Different Way to Think About Creativity

Posted on June 3, 2010

From the woman that wrote “Eat, Pray, Love” – Elizabeth Gilbert a talk in which she discusses taking an alternate view of creativity.

How to find your creative muse:

What purposes define your life?
What enthuses and excites you?
What moves you — physically, spiritually, and emotionally?
What is really important to you?
What things do you cherish or revere?
On what aspects of your life are you unwilling to compromise?
What makes you feel vital and alive?
What inspires you?
What drives you?
What provokes you?
What lifts you out of yourself?
What things help you define and focus on certain goals?

    I loved this presentation by Elizabeth Gilbert. The whole idea of doing what you do anyway – even when you don’t have the “freakish” success of Eat, Pray. Love. That’s a very powerful idea. It speaks to being who you are no matter what.
