For the creative person:
Reflect on one of these each day, and you will
experience an astonishing increase of creativity!

There's no easy ways, man. You gotta learn the hard parts on your own, for yourself, over and over.
....................................................Stevie Ray Vaughan

I used to believe that you had to be destructive to be creative.
I don't want to do that any more. I want to lead a quiet, well-adjusted life and still be creative. That's my plan.
............................................................................ Sting

The best characteristic for a productive, creative life is to stop worrying so much about what other people are doing or not doing and to concentrate, instead, on what you can do and how you can do it better.
.................................................................. Karl Hess

The fact that going off a deep end appears to be a requisite to doing anything of consequence in this life has not escaped me.
................................................................ Jim Harrison

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.
................................................................ Steven Jobs

Man is not limited, but almost always he is focused. In one direction or another he becomes so efficient that he only flows through that direction, and he becomes afraid of other directions because they are new. He may not be so capable and so efficient in them - and that is the fear that destroys creativity.
.......................................... Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Perhaps what distinguishes the greater from the lesser creators is the range and richness of association of ideas and the ability to choose rightly.
........................................................ George Pickering

Creative individuals are remarkable for their ability to adapt to almost any situation and to make do with whatever is at hand to reach their goals.
................................................................. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

In the end it all comes down to this: you have a choice between giving your work your best shot and risking that it will not make you happy, or not giving it your best shot - and thereby guaranteeing that it will not make you happy.
...................................... David Bayles and Ted Orland

When I feel like I'm "creating," I'm usually doing bad work.
...............................................................Stephen King

All great artists have been aware that they become possessed by some unknown force. It is nothing but your own depth - but you are unaware of it....
................................... Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Creation requires an uncommon mind and strong will serving an original view of life and the world.
........................................................ Jacques Barzun

Most creative individuals find out early what their best rhythms are for sleeping, eating, and working, and abide by them even when it is tempting to do otherwise. They wear clothes that are comfortable, they interact only with people they find congenial, they do only things they think are important.
........................................... Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
