Creative Idea Origins

I think creative ideas come from personal experience and curiosity.

From what we live through, what stays with us, and the questions we can’t stop asking. Curiosity pushes us to explore, and experience gives those explorations meaning. When the two meet, ideas start to form naturally, without being forced.

Personal experience gives ideas their weight, and curiosity gives them movement. Experience shapes how you see the world, while curiosity keeps you looking beyond what you already know. One grounds the idea, the other keeps it alive.

When curiosity meets lived experience, ideas don’t feel borrowed or artificial. They feel honest, because they come from paying attention to your own life and still wanting to understand more.
