Unravel the Mystery

Mysteries are gripping. They entice us to learn more. As we enjoy the thrill, we’re waiting to be surprised.

Tap into this power by looking at your craft or project like a mystery to be unraveled. Studying it like a puzzle encourages you to question our assumptions and challenge the status quo, which jumpstarts the creative process.

Be an objective observer. View the situation from multiple perspectives and withhold judgment, so that you’re still able to notice what is new.

Follow each new clue to the next. There’s always more beneath the surface. Open your mind, and adapt to what you learn.

Expect surprises. Remember that you don’t know the ending. Anticipate a twist or surprise antagonist.

A sense of mystery also motivates us to explore more. When we build this curiosity, we’re building a passion. That passion will drive us to put in the hard work necessary to gather knowledge, master a craft, and stick with a creative process. It’s not just about solving the puzzle, it’s about enjoying the journey of discovery.
