“What is the biggest obstacle to creativity? Attachment to outcome. As soon as you become attached to a specific outcome, you feel compelled to control and manipulate what you're doing and in the process you shut yourself off to other possibilities. Creativity is not just about succeeding. It's about experimenting and discovering”

Simplified Meaning:

The main idea is that being too focused on a particular result can limit your creativity. When you only care about one specific goal, you try too hard to control your work and miss out on new, different ideas. Creativity is more about trying new things and finding new paths, not just about reaching one success.
