Creativity Part 5 - When Creativity Dies

Idealistic Impossibility is where creativity is often birthed.
Walt Disney said, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible."
Realistic expectations can kill.
Giving up too early often kills.
In the point where there doesn't seem to be any way to "fix something" you might be at your best spot to make a major breakthrough.

Looking at it the same way can get boring. Eventually, it can kill.
Sometimes, you have take a whole different approach to what it looks like.
Get an outsiders perspective.
Wipe the slate clean and start from scratch.


When involved in a Brainstorming group, watch out for the "creativity killers".
They start to explain why something won't work before you've even taken time to dream by asking, "How could we make this work?"
