If there is one quality that consistently distinguishes creative geniuses from the merely competent, it is flexibility. Not talent. Not education. Not even intelligence. Scripture itself affirms this principle: “Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety” (Proverbs 11:14). Flexibility of mind—the ability to adapt, reassess, and adjust—is wisdom in motion. A rigid mind resists reality; a flexible mind works with it. Creative genius begins where humility and adaptability meet. . .
