Have you ever channelled all your energy toward finishing a certain artwork or composition?
Have you felt that pulsating frustration of not being able to perfectly capture a thought or a vision?
And when you finally do, you feel this sense of transcendence — like you have personified the phoenix metaphor cliché — while marvelling at the magnificence of your creation with utter disbelief that something so beautiful could come from you.
That, my friend, is the wonderful feeling of flow shared by most of the world’s creatives.
Everything around you, from the heart-wrenching spoken poetry and that catchy jingle you can’t seem to shake off to that hip campaign ad and those elaborate graffiti-painted walls, is the product of abounding creativity.
Have you ever thought about the artists behind these wonderful works?
How were they able to come up with such excellent ideas and the inhuman abilities to turn them into reality?
What do they do differently compared to most people?
