The Way of Life Cycle seen here is Alden B. Dow’s graphic representation of his philosophy of Creativity.  Alden Dow believed that individuals are unique in the way they think, express themselves and do things.  When our unique ideas and our unique way of doing something are combined, new expressions are created.  These new expressions or creations, when judged by the qualities of honesty, humility and enthusiasm, lead to finer standards and lead to growth and improvement of the creative process.
