To look for invisible patterns, to build connections between things that are not related, and to generate outstanding solutions. Creativity works with two processes:
1. Thinking
2. Then you produce
A creative thinker is someone that can bring out something spanking new from what is already available by using your initiative to produce ideas or innovations that has not been discovered initially.
Almost every outstanding ideas uses the same creative process, which makes being creative not easy. The process of creative link always occurs in five steps. Where are as follows:
1. The Creative Procedure.
Accumulate fresh new material. Then learn how to make use of them first, while this process is ongoing you have to focus on A) knowing the exact material that relates to your task directly. B) by studying other materials outside your task to get relative ideas from them. Critically go through the entire materials you have in your possession. During this process, you cross check what you have learnt so far by checking the facts from different perspective and then experiment with fitting various ideas together.
2. Move Away From The Problem.
Get the problem out of your mind entirely. Refresh your mind, by doing something totally different from the task, it should be something that excites you and makes you very active.

Make sure that happens only when you have stopped thinking about it. Then your ideas will emerge with a flash of understanding and fresh energy.

If you want your ideas to be successful, you must allow it to pass through criticism, and then shape it as required.

How Can We Be Creative?
1. Allow Yourself To Create Junk.
In the pursuit of being creative. You have to give room to create junk, it's unavoidable, most times you have to write about 3-4 outrageous pages before you realize that you have written one lovely sentence in the following paragraph.
2: Practice Constantly - Create On A Schedule.
You will be so amazed on what you come up with, by forcing yourself to innovate things constantly. Being consistent with your craft is the sure way to becoming outstanding in it.
In other to come up with a great creative craft, you must not live it up to choice. Never wake up in the morning and start wondering, if you are really motivated to create something today. It's not about decision making, set a time frame for your work. Being a Genius comes when you are there most of the time to get the average ideas out of the way.
3: Endeavor To Finish Something.
Get something done. Whatever it is make sure you finish it. Put an end to the researching, the planning, making arrangements to carry out the work and just do the work. It doesn't have to be a fantastic job, you don't need to be over the moon with your first attempt. All you need to do is to prove to yourself that you are capable of producing something.
No renowned scientist writer, artist, or entrepreneur became outstanding by leaving their work half way. Stop deliberating on what to make and just make something.
4: Stop being a judge To your own work.
People find it difficult to create great art. Even renowned artists.
Whoever creates something on a regular basis will someday start to judge their own work. I write new articles three times a week, after following that routine for awhile, I started judging what I created. I wasn't satisfied with my out put.
It is normal to be feel dissatisfied or judge your work. It's very natural to think that your creation didn't come out as wonderful as you imagined.

Make sure you continue your work/craft, you will surely be exceptional at the long run.
You have to be very compassionate with yourself in other not to allow self-judgment take over. Of course, you appreciate you art so much, but don't be so serious minded about it that you can't make jokes from your mistakes and still be positive to produce the things you care about. Never allow judgment stop you from producing.
5: Be Responsible For Your Actions -Hold Yourself Accountable.
Distribute your work publicly, give room for criticism. By doing this, it will hold you responsible to produce your best work ever. Through the feedback you get from people's critics you be able to do a better job. Immediately you begin to see others connect with what you create, you will be inspired and then care more for your art.
Don't expect everyone to like your work when you share them publicly, The most important thing is that you are around the people who have similar believe in what you do. People who are happy with the same things that brings you happiness, or people who supports the work that you believe in. Am very sure everyone wants this.
People who puts out creative works are mostly appreciated. The world is in need of people who puts creative work out there. What you take very lightly or simple is a big deal for someone else. You can only know that by sharing your work publicly.
