Popcorn & Creativity

Creativity is a lot like popcorn for me.

You want popcorn? Apply heat to dried kernels.

But be prepared for a lot of those miniature hard nuggets to never yield any of the delicious white, fluffy, goodness we love to dump butter on at the movies.

No one frets over the un-popped kernels, they just serve up more kernels for another bag of soon-to-be popcorn.

We can treat creativity like this.

Our minds can be the machine that dishes up those kernels (ideas).

While a lot of these ideas can come to nothing, other ideas can bear a delicious snack (worthwhile pursuit/business/endeavor)

We all can be popping with creativity, if we are willing to keep throwing ideas out there.
