Creativity is the magic sauce.
Companies crave it. Artists pursue it. Hustlers fake it.
It’s something everyone wants, but it’s something only a rare few can deliver reliably.
So here’s what I’m pondering: to what extent is creativity simply a by-product of curiosity?
It’s damn hard to “be more creative,” but it’s not that hard to “be more curious.”
In my own experience, there’s a positive correlation between the best people I’ve worked with, and those that are insatiably curious. These folks ask question after question, not stopping until they deeply understand how something works. And at the end of that long tunnel of curiosity, they emerge with an insight that no one else saw, or a new way of framing a problem.
So what if curiosity was a reliable way to be more creative? How would it change the way you approach your work and your art?
