Creativity isn’t magic. It’s connecting dots others don’t see

Creativity isn’t magic. It’s connecting ideas, materials and knowhow (dots) in ways others don’t see.

The most innovative solutions come not from inventing something entirely new but from combining what already exists in novel ways. Look around. What unrelated ideas, tools, or perspectives could you weave together?

Steve Jobs called it “connecting experiences.” The broader your input, the richer your output. That’s why curiosity is the foundation of creativity. Read widely. Listen deeply. Explore relentlessly.

Your next breakthrough isn’t waiting to be invented—it’s waiting to be connected. The more you seek out new experiences and perspectives, the more your creativity compounds.

It’s not about having all the answers, it’s about asking the right questions to find them and join them together.
