Social hierarchy perspective

One of the barriers to adopting a creator mindset has been societal structures that have persisted for decades. Thus, it isn’t our fault, or yours, that we might not have considered this concept before. As such, we shouldn’t judge ourselves for this oversight. Instead, it’s time to equip ourselves for a new journey to reclaim our inherent birthright: the creator mindset.

What Blocks to become Creator mindset

One of the barriers to adopting a creator mindset has been societal structures that have persisted for decades.

What blocks our “creator mindset”? There are numerous factors. One can trace it back through human history, where hierarchical structures have always been prevalent. Superior groups have often strategized to control subordinate groups to fulfill their needs. Historically, these superior groups represented a small portion of society, while the majority became the subordinated group.

These dominant groups would offer significant rewards to those who followed their instructions meticulously, exhibited outstanding performance, and refrained from thinking outside the box. By suppressing their individual mindset and being obedient followers, these individuals often received more rewards, compensation, and stability. In contrast, those who opposed these norms risked facing severe consequences, including death, starvation, and isolation.

This concept can be likened to the one presented in a book , Homo Sapiens, which was written by Yuval Noah Harari, to explain about the processing of the domestication of wild animals. The author suggests that early humans first eliminated the more aggressive, untamed animals. The remaining, less wild creatures were then more easily domesticated. This perspective offers a compelling viewpoint on how control and conformity have shaped both human and animal societies by the superiority group.

Security and comfortable

Since the inception of human societies, a hierarchical system has been in place. Over time, the majority might have adopted a less creative mindset in favor of stability and security. Following this line of thought, developing a victim mindset seems to be a natural outcome of such a system. When individuals constantly suppress their voices, thoughts, and dreams, it begs the question: what kind of mindset inevitably forms as a result? So, The way human society is organized might inadvertently suppress or seldom promote creative thinking

Reflect personal life

We can examine this by looking at our day-to-day experiences and our personal histories. Think about the circumstances of your childhood. Were your parents supportive of your dreams? Did they allow you to explore your passions freely when you were young? Was the society you grew up in open to creativity? Or were you expected to follow a conventional path with limited options to choose from?

In my personal experience, my parents never held me back from pursuing what I wanted. However, the society I grew up in wasn’t as supportive. It wasn’t just a closed structure; the hierarchical nature was evident, especially in terms of social and economic status. There was blatant social discrimination against groups that didn’t achieve as much in materialistic terms.

Awareness and move forward

However, my intent isn’t to cast blame on circumstances. Instead, I aim to raise awareness about this mindset. It’s crucial to recognize and awaken the innate “creator mindset” within us, a fundamental trait that should guide our lives.

Now, we must adopt an observational stance. Recognize things for what they are. Only by understanding our current state can we change our path and reclaim our innate qualities and rights as creators.

Thus, it isn’t our fault, or yours, that we might not have considered this concept before. As such, we shouldn’t judge ourselves for this oversight. Instead, it’s time to equip ourselves for a new journey to reclaim our inherent birthright: the creator mindset.
