Creatives
have
an
insatiable
hunger
to
achieve,
create,
acceomplish.
They
want
to
be
recognized
and
heard,
receive
applause
and
take
home
awards.
They
desire
change,
to
create
a
body
of
work,
to
earn,
to
make
deals.
Many
people
who
don’t
know
what
they
want
actually
want
too
much,
too
fast.
The
key
to
success
is
learning
how
to
focus
on
what’s
most
important.
It’s
counterproductive
to
try
to
do
too
many
things
at
once
–
nor
is
it
good
to
focus
on
only
one
area
of
your
life
or
work.
One
way
to
whittle
it
down
(focus)
and
spread
it
around
(multifocus)
is
to
choose
a
top
goal
for
each
aspect
of
your
life.
Take
a
good,
hard
look
at
who
you
are,
what’s
your
story
and
what
you
want
out
of
life.
Sometimes
having
everything
be
just
okay,
having
an

2. adequate
job
and
a
moderate
life,
is
the
biggest
tragedy
of
all.
Take
the
time
now
to
find
yourself,
so
you
can
live
your
life
without
getting
lost
and
make
good
decisions
that
will
lead
you
to
the
success
and
happiness
you
desire.
We
are
all
born
creative.
What
happens
to
us
from
kindergarten
to
college
shapes
how
much
of
that
creativity
stays
with
us.
Some,
despite
the
best
efforts
of
the
school
system
and
the
corporate
system
to
stamp
out
the
creative
spirit,
slip
through
the
cracks,
creativity
intact.
You
are
still
not
safe.
Ninety
–
eight
percent
of
the
people
of
the
world
are
living
the
left
–
brained
life.
Society
tends
to
reward
the
left
brain
(structure,
status
quo)
and
reprimand
the
right
brain
(chaos,
creativity,
innovation).
You
can
stunt
your
creative
spirit
with
disuse.
You
cannot
lose
a
talent,
but
your
skills
can
certainly
atrophy.
Almost
any
job
can
be
done
creatively.
in
Entrepreneurs
must
be
creative
to
survive,
managing
people
can
be
done
creatively,
marketing,
communication
and
sales
certainly
involves
a
degree
of
creativity,
even
distribution
and
finance
can
be
a
right-­‐brained
affair.
What
makes
any
career
interesting,
exciting
and
vital
is
the
creative
approach
you
take
to
it.
People
who
ignore
their
creative
gifts
in
their
careers
are
frustrated
and
unhappy
by
midlife
(or
much
sooner).
Happiness
comes
from
finding
your
greatest
gifts
and
abilities
and
then
developing
and
using
them
in
the
work
you
do.
