Unlocking The Creative

If ever you're in need of an effective quote to illustrate a point,
Aristotle is your go-to guy.
He gave the world countless thoughtful perspectives on human nature, and probably cleaned up on the after-dinner circuit.
One of my favourite quotes by the Greek philosopher and scientist neatly distills all human experience into a single sentence:
" All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion and desire."
My advice?
Steer clear of causes one through four.
Five, six and seven - there's your motivation
