b"INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY C.Cultivate a creative life.We all yearn for a creative life but living one can sometimes feel like a challenge. However, the thing to remember is that living a creative life is more of a habit than anything else and as with all habits, there are certain rules you can follow to make it easy to stick to them.Ifyouwanttoleadamorecreativelifewhetheryouareapainter, engineer, accountant, carpenter, military man or anyone else, follow the rules below and you will soon find that living a creative life is easier than you never imagined.1.Learn to say, no to things that do not enlighten you: to live a creative life, you need to be specific about what you do. By saying no, to the things that don't turn you on and excite you, you'll make room for the things that do it. You can't do everything, so make sure the things you do, are best for you and your creativity.2.Let curiosity lead you: let your curiosity guide your creativity and really take the time to explore.

The problem with comparing yourself is that you are not compared to the original. When you compare your work, with all its known inconsistencies and difficulties, to someone else's carefully curated presentation of their work, you are comparing two completely different things. It's just not a fair comparison and you will lose every time. Germain Decelles215"
