Anyone who's ever said, "I'm not
creative," please read carefully. Yes, you are. And I can
prove it. Ready?
Imagine a grapefruit. Nice going. That was your right
brain working, by the way. Now imagine what you could do with this grapefruit. Eat it? Not
a very creative thought. Except that eating an imaginary grapefruit is more creative than
eating a real one. So we're on the right track. What if the grapefruit ate you? Would it
hurt? What would it look like inside? What would it sound like? Do you see its teeth? Or
does it use some other method of feeding? Isn't this weird?
Imagining what it's like to be eaten by a grapefruit. And I'll bet every reader creates a
very different image of what it's like. That's because each one of you is being creative.
-
Have you ever laughed at a joke?
-
Do you fantasize?
-
Have you ever made up an excuse?
These are all very basic right brain operations.
Now it's your turn. Let your imagination take you
wherever you want to go. Do it every day if you don't already. Then when you're real
confident using it, put it to work. |
