Listen to that Hunch – My eighth cardNot every hunch is wisdom.Some are just fear… wearing a calm voice. And yes, I still confuse them sometimes 😄 If something grows quietly, maybe it’s better not to question it too much.That’s usually how we ruin it.
Focus on the Real Truth – My seventh cardTruth isn’t singularit’s directional — depending on where you stand and what you choose to see. Everyone is “right”depending on the reality they live in. Don Quixote → the world of knightsThe priest → realityDorotea → playing a role in between And suddenly… everything works. Core idea: … Read more
Get out of Your Box – My sixth card Each culture, and honestly each profession, lives in its own little bubble. If you only look where you’re “supposed” to look,you’ll just get the same ideas… slightly repackaged. The interesting stuff happens when you mix worlds: 👉 Basically: steal ideas from places that don’t belong. Core idea:Creativity … Read more
See the positive – My fifth cardReal life version Sometimes the positive isn’t the outcome.It’s the intention. You help someone who doesn’t appreciate it.You step in when others stay silent.You take a risk that doesn’t pay off. From the outside: mistake.From the inside: integrity. 👉 The positive isn’t that it worked.It’s that you didn’t ignore … Read more

He sees prisoners and mixes it with his knightly code → result: “they must be freed.”Creative thinking… but without reality-check. 👉 The twist:Combining ideas creates something new —but not always something good. In this … Read more
Pause for a Bit – My third cardSometimes the solution isn’t more force.It’s to stop pushing. You chase the answer…but the answer walks behind you, unhurried. If you don’t stop — you never meet. More thoughts like this → Creative Whack Pack
Rearrange – My second cardRearranging isn’t about changing reality.It’s about changing how you place things inside it. Nature doesn’t invent from nothing.It rearranges what already exists. Same pieces.Different order.New outcome. For me, this hits a bit different than Don Quixote. He doesn’t rearrange reality — he replaces it. This card suggests something more grounded: 👉 … Read more
Slay a sacred cow – My first cardWe read as if there is a right way.Start. Understand. Finish.But what if that’s just habit?Some rules worked once.Now they just limit.Maybe the real question isn’t:“What does the book say?”But:“What am I not questioning anymore?” My honest thought:Stop trying to turn this into a book blog.This is about … Read more
A Small ExperimentA few years ago I bought something called Creative Whack Pack.It’s basically a deck of cards, but instead of telling you what to do, each card challenges how you think. Small prompts that push you to look at things differently, question assumptions, or break patterns you didn’t even notice you had. I didn’t … Read more
