Was your day today like yesterday? Or was it a copy of tomorrow?
Many people say, "I'm too busy to think."
However, today, amidst meetings and training sessions that lasted all day, I realized a very important truth once again.
It is the power of the 'Creative Self.'
Psychologist Alfred Adler said that humans are not passive beings swayed by their environment.
We are active creators who craft the work of life of our own using the materials of heredity or environment.
This is precisely the 'Creative Self.' It is not something only grandiose artists do.
Interpreting the meaning of the hardships experienced today differently
Introducing a new tool called AI into familiar tasks
Making 'better choices than yesterday' amidst repetitive daily life
All these processes make us different people from yesterday.
In the past, it was difficult to organize my thoughts because I lacked time to write.
But now, we have Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The most goosebump-inducing aspect I felt while using AI is not simply that it 'writes for me.'
"Within AI's sentences, there are territories of thought I have not yet explored."
As I read text generated by AI, knowledge and perspectives I was previously unaware of collide, triggering new ways of thinking.
This is precisely the moment of self-renewal.
AI is an assistant that aids my thinking, and the most modern tool for expanding my creative self.
Today, I achieved a small victory. I solved a problem I had been unable to resolve for a long time using a simple method called iPhone Real-time Log.
A single tool, a single attempt, created a 'result never achieved before.'
Realizing your creative self is not a grand revolution.
Action: Putting into practice what you only thought about using tools (AI, smartphones, etc.)
Difference: The will not to repeat the self of yesterday
The Good: Making my life more valuable through this difference
Jean-Paul Sartre said, "Man is not a finished being, but a being who creates himself."
Starting today, you too should explore your own creative self.
Record of Self-Awareness: Even a short note is fine. Write down your needs and values.
Convergent Thinking: Conversate with AI and discover the world beyond your knowledge.
MVP (Minimum Viable Product) Strategy: Don't wait for perfection; start with the tools you have right now.
The reason we live is not simply to survive.
It is to experience the 'good things' of this world and to create 'good things' with our own hands.
"How is today different from yesterday?"
If you can answer this question, you have already begun the journey toward your creative self.
