This is a post inspired by Liz Worth's post on 'A Creative Manifesta'.
In 2009 when I visited my uncle in South Africa, he told me that you gain a clearer understanding of who you are when you write down the things you believe in. It was advice that stuck, and on the 22 hour return flight, I recorded the things I value most in life. The list has definitely formed a guideline on how I act ever since.
So I'm hoping that the things I list here will do the same from a creative point-of-view.
1. Let your intuition guide you, but depend on logic to set you on the right path.
2. Discover and explore the overarching psychological themes in your own life.
3. Keep an open mind to everything from silly YouTube videos to overheard conversations.
4. Value your dreams, they will help you solve creative problems if you ask them.
5. Give up on projects that bore you, and focus on those that give you energy.
6. Work hard!
7. Never let your mind idle too long, inertia will catch you.
8. Forget everything society tells you about genius being linked to crazy.
9. Make associations between unlikely things.
10. Believe in your projects, regardless of what others say.
11. Find a method that works for you and perfect it.
12. Go for walks when you feel stuck.
