Creative and Inspirational People • Radcliff Design

Creative people have a deep respect for the very essence of everything around them. It is as if they have a thirst for all things new and exciting. Who wouldn’t want to be around a creative and inspirational person? They are uplifting, kind, and filled with a wonder for life. They can light up a room by just walking in with a smile on their face. True, they enjoy talking about things they are passionate about, and that might drive some people nuts. Creatives have a way of pulling people out of their shells and back into reality.

They will bring you strawberries in winter and sprinkle glitter on your papers just to make you smile. They draw you out of your head and make you think about things differently. A way that has light to it. A way that seems easy to follow. Go there!

Living in the Moment

Creative people aren’t obsessed with who they are or what they may or may not have done in the past. Creatives are comfortable in engaging others to be open and fair, while listening and absorbing every spoonful of what you have to say. They are excellent listeners! They are interested in you, and they want to explore a friendly relationship. They are comfortable in the moment.

They are comfortable in the moment.

Creatives can have an open dialogue with you and not come across as pompous and unfair, nor self-conceited. They live life in the moment!

1. They are really interested in you!

2. They seek to know you as a person in the moment! Your past is irrelevant.

3. They aren’t interested in long stories about themselves. They live in the moment and can talk about subjects ranging from rocket science to hopscotch, arts to football. As long as it is in the moment, they are with you.

4. They won’t lecture you, nor drill you with facts, or try to control you with words, actions, or deeds. They keep their emotions in check and keep that part of their life private where it needs to be. They are greeters, not whiners.

They crank out the work

It may be a little overwhelming to meet and greet with these types of creative and inspirational people at first. Especially if you aren’t used to that type of personality. They are rare and well sought after for a good reason. They crank out the work no one else can even get started with. They are so refreshing – you will be looking for ways to incorporate them into your life immediately. But how?

How do you keep the attention of a highly creative and inspirational person or group of people?

1. Listen to them, not the thoughts in your head.

2. Do not lecture them. The worst thing you can do to a creative and inspirational person is to lose their respect. Lecturing on your “know-it-all” issues is a deal killer.

Because they are so loved and respected by so many, I would hesitate before I spoke badly in certain circles about them. Many carry clout you are unaware of. They can be the darlings of society. It’s not about money or education, it’s about truthfulness, kindness, and a mutual respect for others. These people thrive on fairness. Many are community volunteers, diplomatic, and driven. They genuinely love people and want to help everywhere they can.

Creatives can be very analytical – they have their stuff together

If you have an inferiority complex, creative and inspirational people are not the ones you want to take your complex out on. Save those talented folks from your momentary lapse of good judgment, and instead learn to mimic what they do. Pretty soon, you may find out you have something in common with these inspiring people. Once you learn to keep your own feelings in check, you will find you have plenty of positive things to talk about. These folks really do have their stuff together. Learn from them.

-Be creative and learn to listen and hear more than the thoughts in your head.

-Be inspirational and allow others to know you on a different scale, a scale filled with meaningful thoughts and actions.

-Be prepared to hear positive solutions and positive reinforcement on concrete ideas based on sound intellect, working knowledge, and experience. The term precise comes to mind, or intuition. It’s just natural for them. Don’t judge, follow their lead.

These people can be addictive to others who haven’t experienced firsthand what it is like to explore life to the fullest. They can shape and mold an organization with just a smile and a friendly chat. They love to wrap people in a PEACE bubble and make them feel appreciated and accepted for who and what they are. People have value just by living in the moment. Remember to keep negativity from creeping its ugly head into your newfound PEACE bubble. Learn to hold your tongue and avoid your own mind talk. Crawl out of your own head and live in the moment. Be creative and inspirational!
