1. They get inspired at the least expected moment.
They can’t decide when the next big idea will come. It just will, in the least expected way, at the least expected moment.
2. They daydream. A lot.
They are here, but they’re not. They can fly away with their mind at
any given moment during a conversation. Don’t be mad at them, it’s just
the way they are.
3. They get easily bored.
They need to stay stimulated in order to stay active. They won’t
focus on something they don’t like. Call them ADHD or whatever you like,
this is just part of their genius.
4. They watch the world with the eyes of a child
There’s a part of them that never grows up, and maybe this is the real secret, observing the world with the eyes of a child.
5. They will fail, and you can be sure they will try again
Life it’s not always easy for a creative, especially for the
professional ones. They will fail one thousand time in their life, then
they will rise and succeed, only to fail again. Every creative, even the
most successful one, has failed and has been rejected one million
times. But they finally did it.
6. They are told to get a real job
It’s not easy to be accepted as a creative, especially when your
loved ones expect something different from you. Real creatives will
follow their dreams.
7. They will follow their heart, even if often their mind thinks otherwise
It’s said that creative people are more likely to worry less about
problems and take more risks. This can brings to a thousand fails, but a
million satisfactions.
8. They get lost in time
When they are creating they get lost in time and space, they can
forget to eat, to drink and even to sleep. When words, colors or ideas
start to flow out of their mind there’s nothing else that really matters
to them.
9. They work when you sleep and they sleep when you work
Like we said at n. 1, inspiration comes at the most unexpected times. Just take it and make something great out of it.
10. Where most people see a difficulty, they see an opportunity
They can see the bright side of things, and brilliantly come out of troubles in unusual ways.
11. They fall in love with their pieces of work, and hate them the day after
This is still a mystery, but there is some kind of process that makes them extremely fickle about their creations.
12. They hate what they’ve just created, but will totally love it 12 hours later
Just like n. 11, this can happen too.
13. They are humble and proud at the same time
They are always willing to learn, but will be extremely proud and confident when it comes to their ideas and creations.
14. They are always looking to new ways to express themselves
Both if you do it as a job or you are just a creative person, you
know there isn’t just one way to express creativity. If you are a
photographer you’ll probably love to create in so many other ways. The
same applies to painters, art directors, writers and every creative
person in general.
15. They procrastinate
Give them a deadline and they will comply with it, but you can be sure they will do 90% of the work the night before the term.
16. They see the other side of the coin
They can always observe situations from a different point of view.
17. They don’t like boundaries
Rules and boundaries are not for them. Many popular creatives in history have even been labeled as rebels.
18. They often don’t like numbers
They are brilliant and can really amaze you at times, but try to let
them do the math and you will be surprised by how much they dislike
numbers.
19. They are great observers
They often are great people watchers and notice even the smallest
detail. People and basically everything can be the inspiration for their
next idea.
20. They always make new experiences
As we said before, they need to be stimulated to stay creative. Is
there a better way to escape from routine by trying something you never
did before?
21. They do it all over again
No matter how far they’ve come with their last creation. If at a
given point they don’t like, they won’t think twice and will trash it
just to start all over again. And again. And again.
22. They love
They love. Everything. They love life, they love people, they love
emotions, they love animals, they love beauty. They can stay in silence
watching the most beautiful sunset they’ve ever seen, or be excited for
the next big art exhibit in town. No matter what, their love for life is contagious, and if you have
some friends like this, stick with them. They will make your life a
little more beautiful.
