To ask “what if” is to explore the depths of your creative courage

You are free to explore your creativity, even before your ideas are understood by others, or even by yourself. Let the practice of engaging with your creativity be a way to breathe and let go of limitations. Start by asking yourself questions like “What if I tried this?” or “How might this evolve?”

Engage with creativity to go beyond others’ perceptions and your own. You can engage with meaningful change even before you feel like you have the answers:

Consider these questions to spark your creativity:

“What if I tried this?”
“How might this evolve?”
“How can I change my usual approach?”
“How does this relate to something I’m passionate about?”
“What if I reversed my approach?”

Choose one question to focus on today, challenging assumptions and expanding how you think about a particular thing. Even if you don’t have an answer for the question right away, the time you spend reflecting on it as a part of the creative process too. Even here, there is room to be on a journey of continuous discovery where you can find meaningful and creative courage in unexpected and everyday spaces. And to find new ways to ask “what if” is to explore the depths of your creative courage. – Morgan Harper Nichols
