Everyone has at least one or two zones of creative genius, but some people have multiple areas of creative genius. They’re good at a lot of things. These folks are called highly creative people, and they make up about 10 to 15% of the population. Now, if you are one of these highly creative people. Or you live with one, you know that being good at a lot of things isn’t always easy.

First of all, people think that you’re flaky or indecisive. They may even call you a dilettante. It can be hard to know where to focus, and when the world says, well, you should just pick one thing and stick with it, you feel terrible. Here’s my news. Flash your one thing is your multiplicity of talents.

Your one thing is the fact that you are good at a lot of things and if you can find a way to combine your many talents and skills, you will be able to create something amazing because your creativity matters every single day.

Have you noticed that in every group of people, there’s someone for every role? I mean, someone is sort of the mom caretaker or someone’s the organizer planner.

Well, it’s because in every group there’s someone who has party planning as one of their zones of creative genius.

Remember, your zone of creative genius is not necessarily artistic, but it is the area in which you have a natural interest and natural enthusiasm and a natural ability to problem solve.

Everyone is creative. Everyone is creative. And before you say, “Oh, no, no, Sam, I’m not creative,” let me remind you that creative is not the same as artistic. Artistic and creative are two different things. Some highly creative people are artistic, some aren’t, but everyone has at least one or two zones of creative genius.

Now, your zone of creative genius is the area in which you have a natural inclination and natural enthusiasm and a natural ability to problem solve. You may not have even noticed your zone of creative genius because it feels so natural and so obvious to you. You may feel like, Oh, everyone can do that.

No, probably not.

Probably mostly just you.
