For something many of us love and admire, creativity is a wildly misunderstood thing. One big mistake is seeing creativity as something only a few of us are born with, while the rest of us just have to sit back and watch the special people have all the fun. But that's not true at all. Creativity is in all of us. And just like with anything else we're all capable of, like speaking with animals or levitating or controlling the weather, it comes more naturally to some of us than others. Some of us just need a little more practice. The more we practice, the better we get. And the better we get, the more energizing and encouraging it all becomes. We can learn to let our minds stumble down new paths, discover the unexpected, and express what we find in words or imagery or emotions, abstract or concrete, big or small. Along the way, we realize everything can be a creative act. Planning meals for the week or walking to work can be as expressive and fulfilling as writing a novel or painting a portrait. The 365 challenges in this book are designed to help you find the many creative sides of yourself, whether you incorrectly think you aren't creative or you're already a creativity world champion (not a real thing) who could use a challenge. Take on one brief a day. Or binge them all. Or roll the dice and let fate decide. There is no right or wrong.

Pentru ceva ce multi dintre noi iubim si admiram, creativitatea este un lucru neinteles in mod salbatic. O mare greseala consta in a vedea creativitatea ca pe ceva cu care ne nastem doar cativa dintre noi, in timp ce restul dintre noi trebuie doar sa se aseze si sa priveasca oamenii speciali care se distreaza.
