Are You Just Surviving or Truly Creating?
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, "What makes me unique in this fast-paced world?" Most of us are caught in routines, doing tasks we've become good at—but not necessarily passionate about. But what if the secret to standing out lies not in acquiring new skills, but in transforming what you already know?
The Difference Between Normal and Unique Abilities
Let’s start with the basics: All living beings possess natural abilities. Walking, eating, flying (for birds), hunting—these are common survival tools.
Humans also share many of these natural instincts. But what makes us special? The ability to go beyond nature—to transform these basic skills into something extraordinary. Farming, engineering, medicine, and digital art aren’t natural instincts. They’re born out of thought—out of unique ability.
This transformation is where your true power lies.
"We are unique only because we transform our old skills into new ones."
A Glimpse into the Past: How We Evolved
There was a time when humans were no different from animals. We lived in caves, hunted for food, and followed the same instinctual patterns. But something changed: we started thinking.
From:
- Hunting to farming
- Running to riding wheels
- Fires to electricity
All of this came from one power—creative thinking.
What followed was a series of civilizational revolutions. Our ancestors gave us temples, sculptures, scientific breakthroughs, and technologies that we still use today.
Yet, the biggest question is: Are we leaving anything unique for the next generation?
What’s Holding Us Back in the Modern Age?
Let’s be honest. Most of us live on autopilot.
Yes, we all think. But there’s a difference between thinking and creative thinking. The average mind kicks into creativity mode only when a problem arises.
Neurologist Shlomo Presnitz once said:
"After our brain has developed deep habits, it no longer needs to think."
This is why we repeat routines. We do what we’re used to. It’s efficient—but not extraordinary. In an era racing towards AI automation, doing the usual won’t be enough. You need fresh input to awaken creativity.
The 1% vs 99%: Where Do You Stand?
Today, less than 1% of people are creators or industry innovators. The remaining 99%? We're often using tools invented by someone else—phones, apps, websites, even ideas.
We build businesses, work in jobs, and pursue skills that have already been structured by previous generations.
This isn’t wrong—but it’s incomplete.
To truly evolve, you must:
- Re-create the known
- Build something new from the old
- Innovate your profession or passion
What History Teaches Us About Recreation
Consider Thomas Edison. He didn’t invent the light bulb from scratch. Many had tried before him. What he did was study, improve, and polish an existing idea.
"Edison was not just a creator, he was also a great recreator."
In today’s world, you don’t need to start from zero. You need to rebuild smarter.
The real question is: Are you willing to update yourself?
How to Start Rekindling Your Creative Abilities
Here are 5 proven steps to spark your uniqueness again:
-
Reflect on Your Natural Abilities
Think about what comes easily to you—talking, drawing, fixing, explaining, organizing, storytelling, etc. -
Find the Value Within Those Abilities
Can your storytelling become content creation? Can your organization skills become coaching? -
Give Yourself New Challenges
Your brain grows with novelty. Start a passion project, write a blog, build a DIY tool—anything new! -
Study the Masters
Learn from greats in your field. See how they re-invented. -
Create or Recreate Something of Value
Use your skills to build tools, products, art, or communities.
Why You Must Act Now
AI is changing the world. Fast. Jobs are being automated. Skills are becoming outdated. But what AI can’t replace is your creativity, your uniqueness, and your vision.
If you don’t start updating your brain now—learning, building, recreating—you may get stuck in the comfort zone of the 99%.
But if you choose to transform, you’ll be one among the rare 1%.
You Are a Creator in Disguise
You don’t need to be born a genius to be unique. All you need is the courage to look at what you already have, and ask:
"How can I improve this? How can I build on this?"
That’s the key to transformation.
So—what will you build?
And when you do, don’t forget to share it with the world. You never know who might support your mission.
