Not all people can write beautiful poetry or prose, compose beautiful music or perform on stage, successfully getting used to someone else's image. Indeed, in addition to diligence and patience, talent is needed here. However, even a person deprived of talent should not give up on himself. He may well achieve success if he develops his creative potential.
Creative self-development and success
Creative self-development is useful in any business, including those that are very far from art. You just need to resolutely drive away the thought: "I have no talent, so nothing will work."
So what is creative self-development? This is the disclosure of the abilities that each person possesses to one degree or another. Including those about which he may not even guess for the time being. After all, there are practically no absolutely incapable people, some kind of creative potential is always present.
It is widely believed that creative activities include only those related to art: painting, literature, music, sculpture, architecture, etc. However, this is not true. For example, an engineer works on calculations of the original design, a game designer creates a new computer game, a tailor thinks about new styles of clothing, a cook comes up with new recipes for dishes. Aren't they all bringing creativity to their workflow
This list could include an entrepreneur, architect, landscape designer, florist, etc. There are many such professions.
As a rule, success is achieved not by performers who adhere to the strict framework of official instructions (even if they perform their duties flawlessly, at a high level), but those who are not afraid to experiment bring something new into their work. That is, they try to reveal their creative potential.
Therefore, it is imperative to try to create, invent. Sooner or later, this can lead to success.
Why it's never too late to engage in creative self-development
Some people know the cautionary tale of J. K. Rowling, the author of a series of books about the wizard-boy Harry Potter. A modest woman who, after an unsuccessful marriage and divorce, remained with her little daughter and lived very cramped, in a matter of years became one of the most famous writers and a multimillionaire. Because she believed in herself and decided to write a book, which at first was rejected by a number of publishers, and then was a huge success.
Of course, one can argue about the artistic value of Rowling's creations, but the results of her work are very eloquent.
There are numerous cases when a person achieved great success, taking up creativity at a very respectable age. Therefore, one should not neglect creative self-development.
