Scott Perry defines creativity as the ability to make change: altering the status quo, culture, circumstances, and ourselves. He argues you can be creative on purpose, with intention and integrity, rather than waiting for inspiration to strike.
What does it mean to be creative? I think of creativity as simply the ability to make change happen. And what are we changing? We're changing the status quo. We're changing the way things are. We're changing the way that other people are. We're changing the way that the culture is. We're changing the way circumstances are, and we're changing the way that we are. We are changing the way things are. And when we do this by being creative on purpose, we are doing it by stepping into possibility with intention and integrity. And so if you are one of those people in the majority that does not consider yourself to be a creative being, I need you to disabuse yourself of that notion now. We are all creative beings. We can all be creative on purpose. And when we are creative and creative on purpose, we have the ability to influence the culture, to influence circumstances, to change the way things are, and to change the way We are.
