What Really Matters

There is an obvious difference between being positive and negative in tone. There is also a dissimilarity in the way we list those occurrences. Humans list less than desirable outcomes many times easier than the good stuff in life. Brains are wired to find the broken. Reversing that habit can really increase creativity. Artists and writers like to extol the virtues of sadness as a boost to the creative juices. But think about the last time you heard a creator talk about how the pleasure of their life was demonstrated in life. Consider what happens when you ask an opinion on the best place to eat in a certain city. The quickest replies will be on opposite sides of the spectrum of deliciousness. After that, the next longer list will be on the places to avoid. The adjectives will start to fly as the choices not to eat increase. This is a good reminder to look for ways to boost creativity through what is so delightful in life that you can’t not discuss it. With so many more possibilities, it will spill over to other topics that exude a thrill that can’t be missed. Even relying more on positivity in creativity will result in a new genre. Be brave. Search for better ways to bring awesome into the world.

Have you seen this?

Option #1: Do you think others are more positive than you?

Option #2: Can you change your outlook easily?

Option #3: What can you do to build creativity?

That’s it. After you choose the option that best describes how you use positivity, take a few minutes to describe why you chose that option and what action, if any, may come next.
