Why being creative tends to go hand-in-hand with taking risks and not listening to the people who tell you that you're going to fail
I recently had to let go of my music teacher. Good-bye. So long. Farewell.
I later wrote a paper on love of musical instruments—I also study love—and this time, the teacher went ballistic. How dare I write such a paper? The term the teacher used was that the paper was “insulting” because I was not sufficiently trained in musicianship. At that point, I came to realize, my association with the teacher was over.
More recently, I concluded that creative people not only defy the crowd. They also are willing to defy themselves—to let go of old ideas when those ideas no longer work for them. And they are willing to defy all thepresuppositions they and others have about how things not only are, but, seemingly, must be. In other words, creativity is not some kind of arcane knowledge or set of skills.
Do you want to be creative? Do you want to make a difference in a world that resists people making a difference? Believe in your power to effect change. You may or may not succeed. But if you don’t believe in yourself—if you are not what Albert Bandura has referred to as “self-efficacious”—you likely will find that no one else believes in you either. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
