Some people think that they are not creative. Some recall a teacher or a parent who communicated this message which they embraced as the truth. Others developed the belief they weren t creative by comparing themselves to sisters or brothers who were recognized as creative, or to people whose talents they used as a standard against which they evaluated their own. Other peoples opinions, but most importantly their own, led them to turn off creativity they expressed freely as children. Believing they weren t creative, life lost some of its vitality.
