Harish

1. Staying in the discomfort zone and embracing unfavorable situations can fuel creativity. Learning from adversity and taking action even when fearful drives the creative process forward. 2. Establishing a burning desire to create something through passion and purpose provides inspiration. Having nothing to lose and being willing to take risks also inspires creativity. 3. Allowing chaos and spontaneity within a framework, combining ideas freely, and keeping a sense of wonder alive prevents creativity from becoming routine. Embracing uncertainty and strong emotions can further creative works.

What drives the creativity engine?
ORDER AND STRUCTURE? DISORDER AND CHAOS? OR What drives the creativity engine?
A MIX OF ORDER AND CHAOS? What drives the creativity engine? STRUCTURE + SPONTANEITY?

J. K. Rowling conceived of Harry Potter while on a delayed train journey. Over the next several years, she got divorced, lost her mother and battled poverty while keeping the dream alive for her books.

When such an event happens, you may develop a great fire of inspirationand the burning desire to make a difference in your life and the lives of others.
If you discover you have only a year to live, all the unnecessary clutter just falls apart. You will have no time to lose. You get to work on the most important things.
Do have a burning desire to creatively inspire and make someone’s life better or something better? Do you have a reason and a purpose that is so important that it fills you up with inspiration?
Mobilize that amazing fire in your belly to push forward in your creative ventures
4. Nothing to lose, everything to gain: “Screw it, lets do it” “Y)* /)'’& ."%r' &) w%., b( f)..)w!'- r*."#. Y)* ."%r' b( /)!'-, %'/ b( f%..!'- )v"r.”-S!r R!0$%r/ Br%'#)'

However... The adventure of the journey and the possibility of fantastic destinations is priceless.
The relevant question to ask is whether staying STUCK is eventually RISKIERthan the immediate risk of going for it.

5. Running into Uncertainty: the Eye of the Creative Storm "D) ')& -) w$"r" &$" p%&$ +%( ."%/; -) !'#&"%/ w$"r" &$"r" !# ') p%&$ %'/ ."%v" % &r%!.." ~R%.p$ W%./) E+"r#)'
There will be hopelessand impossible days. Your creative venture will look like it is stumbling and gasping for air...
Many of us give upat this point when it gets too difficultand unbearable to continue on.
Realize that every storm comes only to pass.

"K')w."/-" !# %' *'"'/!'- %/v"'&*r" %& &$" "/-" )f *'0"r&%!'&(." ~J%0)b Br)')w#,!
Ask: how can you LEARNfrom the adversity?
If you have emerged without a new perspective, it may be that you are unwilling to change DIRECTION.

6. Embracing fear and massive action: the opposite of analysis paralysis I'%0&!)' br""/# /)*b& %'/ f"%r. A0&!)' br""/# 0)'5/"'0" %'/ 0)*r%-". If ()* w%'& &) 0)'q*"r f"%r, /) ')& #!& $)+" %'/ &$!', %b)*& !&. G) )*& %'/ -"& b*#(. ~D%." C%r'"-!"
The quick and easy solution to this problem is to take action in the face of fear. There will never be a completely fear free situation and it is unrealistic to believe that we can banish fear.
A0&!)' <p#: W$"' ()* -"& #&*0, !' f"%r, &%," % #+%.. %0&!)' &) +)v" f)rw%r/. N) %0&!)' $)w"v"r #+%.. !# *'!+p)r&%'&. Ev"r( #!'-." &!'( b!& )f f)rw%r/ +)+"'&*+ 0)*'&#. R"+"+b"r &$%& f"%r 0%'')& b" b%'!#$"/. Y)* w!.. $%v" &) b"fr!"'/ f"%r %'/ ')& &r"%& !& .!," %' "'"+(.
7. Fueling the creativity engine: using the power of anger and strong emotions “A'-"r !# 4*#& %'-"r. I& !#'’& -))/. I& !#'’& b%/. I& 4*#& !#. W$%& ()* /) w!&$ !& !# w$%& +%&&"r#. I&’# .!," %'(&$!'- ".#". Y)* 0%' *#" !& &) b*!./ )r &) /"#&r)(. Y)* 4*#& $%v" &) +%," &$" 0$)!0".”― J!+ B*&0$"r 
DO YOU SHUT DOWN WHEN YOU GET ANGRYOR EXPERIENCE STRONG EMOTIONS?
Instead of shutting down, allow emotionsto further the cause of your creative endeavor. Breathe deeply and put pen to paper or brush to canvas. Externalizethe power of your emotions and capture their essence in a work of creative art.
8. Creative entropy: Life is messy and everything moves towards disorder: The structure of chaos “Y)* +*#& $%v" 0$%3 w!&$!' ()* &) -!v" b!r&$ &) % /%'0!'- #&%r.” ― Fr!"/r!0$ N!"=#0$"
O'" )f &$" 7'/%+"'&%. .%w# )f P$(#!0# !# &$" L%w )f E'&r)p( )r /!#)r/"r &$%& #&%&"# &$%& "v"r(&$!'- !' &$" *'!v"r#" !# +)v!'- fr)+ % #&%&" )f )r/"r &) /!#)r/"r )r 0$%3.
Creativity is like chaos and entropy within the confines of a meaningful framework or rules.
If you do not allow the chaosto exist because of your obsessive need for order, you might be short-circuitingthe creative process.
E+br%0" &$" 0$%3! A..)w ()*r#".f &$" 0r"%&!v" fr""/)+ &) b" +"##( %'/ 0$%)&!0 !' ()*r 0r"%&!v" v"'&*r"#.  
9. Waking up From the Sleep Walk: Reinventing and Stirring It Up “D) "v"r( %0& )f ()*r .!f" %# &$)*-$ !& w"r" &$" v"r( .%#& %0& )f ()*r .!f".”― M%r0*# A*r".!*#
Do not let your wonderand amazement turn into routine and familiarity...
Allow ideas to combineand mix freelyin your head. Allow them to percolate and brew like a fine coffee and serve up the synthesis.
L"& !/"%# fr)+ /!ff"r"'& %'/ v%r!"/ "."+"'&# 0)+" !'&) ()*r $"%/ %'/ 0r3#-p)..!'%&". A#,: If I w%# #)+")'" ".#" )r !f I 0$%'-"/ +( p"r#p"0&!v", w$%& w)*./ I /) /!ff"r"'&.(? 
Change the lens that you see the problem through. Zoom in and zoom out to look at different aspects of the problem.
10. Putting it All Together and the Launch: Sheer Joy of the Process and the Possibility of Rejection and Failure “I&’# -))/ &) $%v" %' "'/ !' +!'/ b*& !' &$" "'/ w$%& 0)*'&# !# $)w ()* &r%v"..”― Or'% R3#
INSPIRATION + FEAR + EXCITEMENT+DISCOMFORT + ACTION + CHAOS= CREATIVE MAGIC
Are you willing to stir things and up the creative ante?
SUMMARY 1. STAY IN THE DISCOMFORT ZONE. 2. EMBRACE UNFAVORABLE SITUATIONS, LEARN AND ACT. 3. ESTABLISH A BURNING DESIRE TO CREATE SOMETHING. 4. FOLLOW SIR BRANSON’S PHILOSOPHY: SCREW IT, LETS DO IT! 5. WEATHER CREATIVE STORMS AND UNCERTAINTY. 6. EMBRACE FEAR AND TAKE ACTION. 7. USE THE POWER OF STRONG EMOTIONS TO CREATE. 8. ALLOW CHAOS AND CREATIVE FREEDOM. 9. COMBINE AND CONNECT, KEEP THE WONDER ALIVE. 10. PUTTING IT TOGETHER: CHAOS+EXCITEMENT+ACTION+ INSPIRATION+DISCOMFORT = CREATIVE MAGIC
