The book of Genesis tells us that the seventh day God rested from all his work. I do not think it is because God was tired. I think it was to paint for us a picture of how it should be an exhausting and difficult creative process. Now I know that we do not create the universe. We artists are called to offer our vision of the universe in an attempt to lead a kind of positive change for her.
Some big shoes to fill, and I looked around our culture does not seem like many of us jump out of our seats. Not all people are real artists?
Wrong! Well, half wrong. The first thing we hear from God, that he was a creator, was an artist. And later, in Genesis, the sixth day, we learned that we, humanity, are made in the image of God. This includes your creativity. We all have a creative spirit burning within us and our responsibility to let go and let it shine. Not everyone is an artist, but we are all creators.
Which brings me back to creativity is so difficult. Because there is no creation of rules. Otherwise, it could not be called creative. but for those of us who want to create, and just need some structure to our process, these five steps, we hope to give the final push it needs to become a creator of the universe changing.
They are ... Inspiration, reflection, storage, application, hard work
Inspiration: It is defined as direct divine inspiration or influence exerted directly on the mind and soul of humanity. Inspiration is when the idea comes, is short, interesting, important, but also very dangerous. Inspiration is the only step that requires nothing from you, inspiration is a gift given exclusively Artist Original. Anyone can, and everyone does not receive inspiration. This is the most dangerous step because it is very easy to let your inspiration to the failure of his inability to act. Inspiration is where 80% of the creativity dies. It may start at 100% creativity, if 100% of us spend the next step.
Reflection: The most difficult step to take more often it is the first time in the creative process that requires something from you. Now, you must take action.

Accumulation: This is perhaps the most time consuming step in the creative process. This is where you go through all your ideas and cast a clear vision for you and a clear plan of how to achieve your goal. Meanwhile, all ideas should be addressed with good ideas thrown in, and the poor evicted ideas. As I said, a tedious process, but it's worth it. Because if it's done right, it will save a lot of stress in the next steps you.
Implementation: This is the vision to become reality. You have a clear goal and a plan of how to get your place, you are now ready to start living the vision that has been accumulated. During this phase, there are two important things to check. One of them, everyone does his job. Means that tasks are completed on time and issues are clearly communicated. And two, he knows when to be flexible. Again, it may be that you need to change programs or the desired result. Do not be afraid to let things change when you start to see what the project really is. This is art, after all.
Hard work: It seems that the last step, but it's really a part of every step. Remember that on the seventh day God rested? It was to teach us that creation is not an easy thing, and all quality work of art will require large amounts of effort and dedication. If you do not work hard, then it is likely that his art has not reached its full potential.
