Creative people must seek change where they hope to be creative, but change in every area of life can be chaotic. The more internal stability individuals have, the more freedom they have to change externally. Rigidity, however, is an anathema to creativity. Those who dare to take a chance will be creative. Luck comes to those who work hard, and to those who see what others are afraid to see.
Creativity is often persistence with a twist.
When everything fails, re-read the instructions. But innovative solutions do not come with instructions for their discovery. So practice the improvising life style, trying things out, just to see what might happen. Then you will be ready to deal will unexpected events. Creative people cannot be too dependent upon another's judgments which are often based upon past criteria, for the future has its own requirements that others might not yet understand.
