Knowing this can often bring about the motivation needed to execute one more creative technique, or to implement another unique new approach. When you are immersed in a creative project and you know your exploration will inevitably lead to exciting discoveries your mind will create new ideas even when you're not focused on the project at hand.
Acquiring this type of certainty only requires that we see things as they are. The famous statement from Charles H. Duell, Commissioner of the U.S. Patent Office in1899 that “Everything that can be invented has been invented” (possibly an urban legend) demonstrates the absurd notion that creativity is a finite resource. To an open mind every new valuable creation is another doorway to even greater creations. Life consistently gives us an endless supply of potentially creative projects to improve our lives and the lives of others.
It has been said that "The greatest painting is yet to be painted. The greatest sculpture is yet to be sculpted. The greatest novel is yet to be written. The greatest invention is yet to be invented." and so on. You can certainly add to this that the best of any man-made creation is yet to be created because there are many things in this world that are finite and limited but the creativity, ingenuity and imagination of the human mind is not one of them. Revel in your limitless imagination, know that answers are waiting for you, and you are sure to up your level of creativity.

“It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities and talents.”
“It sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.”
