The Creative Process

“Creating learning tools that help you close the gap between your current reality and your desired future outcomes."
Understanding what I call “The Creative Process” is ground zero for living a life driven by purpose.
Anything created is created with purpose. Think about it like this. What intelligent person would take the time and resources to create something for no reason? It wouldn’t happen. Everything created begins with purpose.
The purpose may be called a need or perhaps a problem needing to be solved. Whatever you choose to call it, it is where creation begins.
Once a creator discovers a need he or she desires to meet — or a problem to solve -- the next thing the creator does is develop the design. Think about an app developer who sees a need and decides to create an app for the need. He designs the app based on the need or the problem he wants to solve. Once the design is completed, he or she is then ready to create.
The Creative Process begins with purpose, moves to design, and then on to creation.
If you believe that you are a created being, you must then believe that you were created with purpose already inside of you.
