Most people have a few Zones of Creative Genius . Highly creative people have multiple Zones of Creative Genius . They are naturally good at a lot of things . You may know someone like that — the artistic ones are pretty easy to spot , but the non-artistic highly creative people are often hiding in plain sight .
You might be especially good at communicating with animals . You might have a gift for giving compliments that make others feel seen . Your creativity might express itself in a gift for systems , or numbers , or logic , or skepticism .
Your Zones of Creative Genius might go unnoticed by you , because they come so naturally . You might want to make a running list of hobbies you ’ ve loved , documentaries that fascinate you , odd fixations , and compliments you get that cause you to think to yourself , “ But everyone is like this , aren ’ t they ?” ( nope — they aren ’ t ) and see if you can find some commonalities .
Also , you might want to ask some trusted friends the things they ’ ve noticed you are good at .
Figuring out your one or more Zones of Creative Genius can be a helpful step in determining how you want to spend your 15 minutes a day .
WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH
