Our world is quickly changing.
The rate of novelty, driven by technology and social disruption, is accelerating each year. With increased change comes increased uncertainty. The comfortable known has been replaced with a vast and murky unknown.
This uncertainty can cause us to freeze in fear and confusion, unsure which direction to take. What worked in the past is not guaranteed to work in the future. We need new ways of thinking, working, and living.
This is a call for radical creativity, an opportunity to imagine, design, and build the future we want to see. We need creativity now more than ever.
Creativity is about being an independent thinker. You don’t need tremendous talent; you just need the courage to question conventional wisdom. Your life isn’t a movie that you’re watching. It’s a game that you’re playing—a game that’s fluid and ever changing. There are no rules, just a collection of socially reinforced agreements.
Every valuable contribution to society came about by taking risks and dreaming outside the collective comfort zone. Creativity is the key that opens doors to new businesses, new relationships, new communities, new politics, and new solutions. Without the key, we are subject to the authority of social conventions. With the key, we become magicians, casting spells to align our lives with our soul’s calling.
Albert Einstein said that we cannot solve problems with the same thinking that created them. Building a better, more sustainable world requires us to build better, more sustainable systems and businesses, which requires ingenuity and creativity.
The inner artist is being called to action. Only new thinking can solve old problems.
“The Art of You is a poetic journey into finding your artistic voice and learning how to express it with passion and power.” – IN-Q, award-winning poet and performer, multi-platinum songwriter
