“A lot of creativity has to do with energy, confidence, and focus. These are the elements for making creative things… whether you’re making a movie, whether you’re an entrepreneur doing a business, whether you’re an artist, or whether you’re a gardener or a cook.” -Dale Chihuly
I saw this quote recently at an exhibit on Dale Chihuly’s work with glass at the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis and it really spoke to me. I’ve often heard people say that certain talents or creative abilities are just natural gifts and that the rest of us can’t possibly accomplish the same things. Well, I think if more people applied these principles to their work, they would be surprised at how creative they can really be and how many great things they could accomplish.
