The Culture and Creativity Map for Sharon Stone The Culture and Creativity Map shows areas where you are likely to be involved in cultural and creative activities. Arts of all kinds, and any creative activity, including sports and sciences, are fostered by an atmosphere that is progressive, refined, and creative. You feel like you can "play" in areas that are highlighted in the Culture and Creativity Map. You approach life with a creative spirit that takes much of the drudgery out of chores and bring a creative approach to everything you do. Areas on the map that are tinted with a red color are the best areas for culture and creativity. Yellow areas are also good, but not as powerful as the red areas. The orange-colored areas fall in between the red and yellow areas in intensity. A geographic area varies from light yellow (slight emphasis) to deep red (strongest emphasis). An area with no coloration is not an area that is specifically indicated for culture and creativity. However, you should also refer to the Business and Career Map, Friendship and Family Map, and other Maps because, for example, an area that is indicated as being strong for business is an area where you are likely to be very active and successful, and this activity and success will benefit you in all areas of life. Similarly, an area indicated as positive in the Friendship and Family Map is a place where you are likely to feel very comfortable and at home, and all areas of your life tend to blossom and develop when you are located in a place where you feel at home. In some ways, the Culture and Creativity Map is secondary in importance to the Friendship and Family Map because most people thrive only in a place where they feel at home. The Culture and Creativity Map is also important because it shows areas where you feel creative and you draw inspiring, cultural experiences to yourself. This does not mean that if you live in an area that is not have a yellow or red tint in the Culture and Creativity Map that you are destined to a boring life that does not inspire you with fresh creative activities and cultural experiences. It simply means that the creative and cultural areas are not likely to be highlighted and easily come to the forefront of your life. Other issues are more likely to be most prominent for you. You should use common sense when studying your Culture and Creativity Map. For example, if you move to a place with creative people who share the same interests as you, then a lack of emphasis in the Culture and Creativity Map is not likely to make this supportive environment vanish into thin air! On the other hand, a place that is tinted red in the Culture and Creativity Map is likely to prove to be more supportive of your creative impulses and cultural interests than you expect, regardless of whether your expectations are high or low.
