The limit of your creativity is not your talent. It is your diet.
.
.
You have spent real time building your outputs. The portfolio, the proposal, the brand. You refine before releasing. You obsess over quality before anything leaves your hands. Now, that's solid instinct. But here is the question: are you protecting your inputs with the same intensity you protect your outputs?
.
.
Most people consume inputs with zero intentionality. Whatever the algorithm surfaces. Whatever is circulating in the group chat. Whatever WhatsApp broadcast arrived at 6am. And then they cannot explain why the well feels shallow exactly when something original is needed.
.
.
When I say inputs, I do not mean books only. Your inputs are every environment you spend extended time in, every person whose thinking actively challenges yours, every problem you are watching someone else solve in a different field, every piece of art that stops you on your tracks and inspires you deeply. Your inputs are what your mind is swimming in between the deliberate hours.
.
.
Scripture says it plainly. "The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light." Matthew 6:22. What consistently enters is what eventually emerges.
.
.
You cannot draw from a well you have not filled. And you cannot fill a well by staring at the same walls, sitting in the same rooms, consuming the same narrow band of content week after week.
.
.
The creative professionals I have watched struggle longest are rarely the ones who lacked skill. They are the ones who stopped being curious. Stopped entering rooms where they were the least informed person. Stopped reading outside their category. Stopped letting themselves be genuinely interrupted by other relevant data or media outside of their familiar zones. Their skill was intact. Their diet had dried up.
.
.
Creativity is not generated. It is assembled. Only from what your eyes have actually seen, your ears have heard, your mind has wrestled with.
.
.
Protect your inputs. Be deliberately curious. Read things that do not serve your immediate agenda. The width of what you allow in is what determines the width of what you can produce.
.
.
What is one input you have been neglecting that your creative work is probably missing right now?
.
.
"You can never be more creative than what your eyes have seen. Guard your inputs with the same intentionality you guard your outputs."

MFM is a do-it-yourself Gospel ministry where your hands are trained to wage war and your fingers to do battle. At MFM, aggressive prayer is considered as an aid to spiritual focus and a check against being overwhelmed by the flesh.
Pastor Dolapo Lawal narrated how he transferred someone with spiritual problems to MFM- " Someone came to me with problems, we decided to fast, 2nd day, in my dream a person threatened me, my wife and child, I transferred him to MFM"
@OurFavOnlineDoc "person wey dem one burn, no dey use fuel do body cream", u know the consequences of wearing camouflage, and u know that this country is lawless and useless but you still go ahead to wear one.. well enjoy the reward
@AskPHPeople They are mad people. I wonder why @SimFubaraKSC is yet to start up maintenance in that house of assembly quarters due to mistakes in the structural plan.
@SuitsMeCard you guys are terrible!!, since I opened my account, you have not sent me my ATM card so I can access my mobile app, and then you go ahead to charge me a £5 fee for a failed direct debit of £4.34, how does this make sense!.
You guys are the worst!
