Creative dilemmas arise out of a tension between the current state of our
lives and a sense that things can be better or different. Creative Dilemmas
are sources of innovative breakthroughs in art as well as in life. Without
them the history of art would be a series of boring reproductions rather
than lively bursts of expressive originality. Our lives, too, would take on
the familiar but boring patina of repetition if it were not for the
uncomfortable but necessary tensions that give rise to our creative
dilemmas. When we understand creative dilemmas as the entry point into the
creative process, we are more likely to face them for what they are, even
welcome them, as unsettling as they may be, as opportunities for personal
growth and reinvention.
Think of a client at the threshold of change. How could he or she benefit
from reframing a current challenge as a creative dilemma?
