Creative Wisdom

Description

Have you ever said something that was so profoundly insightful that you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that a deeper wisdom than yours was speaking? In fact, there are times when someone else does the same thing and deep inside you are certain that the fountain of that wisdom did not originate in the person speaking. Have you ever done something that was so profoundly unique that you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that a deeper creativity than yours was manifesting itself through you?

In the past some have tended to emphasize creativity at the expense of wisdom or vice versa. I propose that these two invaluable gifts are to a large extent indistinguishable and inseparable, and although there are important differences between them they remain a strong, undefeatable powerful force when put together.

In Creative Wisdom you will discover that there is a profound connection between creativity and wisdom. In fact most creatives who are known for lasting inventions and innovation operate in wisdom in one way or the other. This book is also a valuable tool to help you uncover, discover, stimulate and grow creativity insights through the instrumentality of wisdom. This book transcends from simply putting out information and techniques about creative wisdom to putting into the hands of all who are desirous a 365 daily wisdom and creativity declarations and notions that will literally affect the way you perceive and think.

Preface
Recently, I met and visited with a friend a creative individual and designer. It was one of those unusual times when you realize you are in the presence of someone who truly lives the way you think …. My designer friend is very warm, gracious, wise and absolutely resolute about keeping her creativity pathways open and flowing. In order to do so, I have noticed that my friend often discards conventional wisdom and always hacks open new and interesting avenues to creating. I thought to myself what if I can live a wisely creative lifestyle as she does. What exactly will it take for me to do so? I value our relationship so much and seized the opportunity at all times to observe and glean from her. After months of my observation and asking so many questions, I discovered to my wildest surprise that there is indeed a distinguishing feature about my friend. She exercised and expressed the spirit of creative wisdom on a consistent basis. More exciting was my discovery that there is an abundance of connectivity between creativity and wisdom . Oh yes there is. I not only saw the connection but I deeply desired to live that lifestyle as a permanent disposition.
In Creative Wisdom you will discover that there is a profound connection between creativity and wisdom. In fact most creatives who are known for lasting inventions and innovation operate in wisdom in one way or the other. This book is also a valuable tool to help you uncover, discover, stimulate and grow creativity insights through the instrumentality of wisdom. I am a true believer of the notion that “ What you are consistently hearing is creating what you are feeling.” This book transcends from simply putting out information and techniques about creative wisdom to putting into the hands of all who are desirous a 365 daily wisdom and creativity declarations and notions that will literally affect the way you perceive and think.
Creative Wisdom explores a practical approach to living and sustaining a creative wisdom lifestyle by exploring the use of creative wisdom declarations and affirmations based on a collection of well-established principles largely drawn from the creator’s manual. This book and (accompanying audio book) details lasting, unchanging, time-proven, solid and permanent principles that have stood the test of time. This book promotes the vision of cultivating a year -round system of renewal and positioning of your mind to think creative and wisdom thoughts.

Creativity in its purest from doesn't protect us from life, it helps us engage more fully in it and helps us develop the opportunities inherent in life's challenges," says neuroscientist and author Gene Cohen. "Our creativity is enhanced by certain qualities, including self-motivation, curiosity, a sense of challenge, tolerance for ambiguity, courage, the ability to imagine things that aren't, and the willingness to take risks and to dream."
You may be coming to this book as an artist, writer, a creative person, one desirous of being creative, or just a normal individual. You may be someone who is already familiar with creative lifestyle. This book adds another dimension to your knowledge and experience. It sheds new light on the interrelationship between creativity and wisdom.
The process of creative wisdom is actually an attitude and how one thinks about him or herself at the way they control the chatter in their heads. My friend is an genius at making the usual seem terrific. I could write a long discussion about how my friend does it. But I have come to realize that her actions are exactly the product of how she thinks.
Creative wisdom lifestyle is more about living a life of creativity propelled by the spirit of wisdom and removing obstacles to success rather than a study of techniques and lifestyle. It is about your attitude. It is about giving yourself the freedom and permission to live life in another dimension to its fullest.
 
Dedication

My burning desire is to see you continue in the spirit of creativity that is in and upon you, young as you are. You embody a creative lifestyle in all its fullness. Thank you for consistently sowing in me the seeds of creative thinking.
To the only wise God, the creator of the universe, thank you for giving me an “unlimited” fertile mind. I truly represent you and embody who you truly are. Thank you for an abundance of life and for your unending love.
 
Wisdom and Creativity an Inseparable Match: Two Are Better than One
By Dr. Jasmine Renner
 
“Through desire a man, having separated him, seeks and intermeddles with all wisdom.”
Prov18. 1 Webster’s Bible Translation .
 
Have you ever said something that was so profoundly insightful that you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that a deeper wisdom than yours was speaking? In fact, there are times when someone else does the same thing and deep inside you are certain that the fountain of that wisdom did not originate in the person speaking. Have you ever done something that was so profoundly unique that you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that a deeper creativity than yours was manifesting itself through you?
In the past some have tended to emphasize creativity at the expense of wisdom or vice versa. I propose that these two invaluable gifts are to a large extent indistinguishable and inseparable, and although there are important differences between them they remain a strong, undefeatable powerful force when put together. Present conceptualization of wisdom and creativity as a separate entity tends to a narrow them to merely a descriptive phenomenon. There is a need to give focused attention to the interrelationship between the two phenomenon.
What do we mean when we say that “Socrates or Solomon was wise” and that “Einstein” was intelligent” or that “ Steve Forbes was creative”? or to take some more mundane examples, what does it mean to say that “Mary may be intelligent but she just isn’t creative” or if only the Director’s wisdom matched his intelligence, we might have had a new building or my grandmother, a self –educated woman might not have done well on intelligence tests, but she had more wisdom than all the Yale professors combined?
In each of these statements some assertion is made about a person’s wisdom or creative abilities. Although we know that Steve Jobs, Socrates, Solomon, and Einstein are all renowned for their extraordinary mental feats, the nature of these feats differ in every case and so do the abilities that give rise to them. But what is wisdom and creativity and how do they differ? Furthermore does wisdom and creativity differ in a way that makes it impossible to merge them together? My simple response is no. In fact from my view point they are inseparable when it comes to bottom line results. The two working together is better than them either one of them exclusive.
In recent years the market value of Silver and Gold has increased significantly. Investors find comfort in the stability of these precious metals in the midst of uncertain or volatile global conditions. Silver and Gold are often used as a safety net strategy in a financial portfolio. They provide an added sense of security and protection to help offset the risk of potential loss in other investments.
So, is there any better investment than Silver and Gold to help protect you in challenging times? According to King Solomon, there is:
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. (Proverbs 3:13-15 NLT)
There is nothing more valuable and secure than skillful and godly wisdom and creativity. Let me challenge you today to be intentional about investing in wisdom and creative materials. Consistently read the creator’s manual, prayerfully reflect on His truth, and humbly seek godly wisdom from others you respect. A daily "cost averaging" investment approach to gaining wisdom is guaranteed to pay eternal dividends that will never lose their value. It doesn't get any better than that!
 
The Anatomy of Creative Wisdom
"Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see
