I read a great book recently which talks about this topic in a more rigorous way: Creating: A practical guide to the creative process and how to use it to create anything - a work of art, a relationship, a career or a better life. https://a.co/d/6a1U0AM https://a.co/d/6a1U0AM Its specifically eye opening in the way your own life is just another thing to create but it could be applied to creating anything. It talks about the choice to create itself. To make something for its own sake not to solve a problem. It also has a concept of primary choice, secondary choice (to create as a step toward primary choice) and foundational choices (what primary and secondary choices are based on) Creating ultimately doesn’t come from anywhere. You start blank and you just “make it up”. You make up what you want to exist. In the context of creating your life for example you write down all the things you want. And go through a process of tightening it. The important thing the book says is 1. Have a clear vision for what you want to create and 2. Have an accurate picture of reality The vision just needs to be clear enough so you know it when you see it. He says having an accurate picture of reality was the surprising thing most people struggle with. Not the vision of what to create. Very interesting book.
