Are You Creative?

Creativity is the ability to look at the world in a unique, nontraditional way. It is being different. Everyone is creative. However, not all of us believes that we are creative as we think that creativity must be a complex thing. Others believe that creativity takes training or practice. Still others believe that some are born with it, while others are not. Not true. The way you respond to the world is the way you show your personal creativity. In fact, your answers to a series of simple questions will show you just how creative you are. And, I promise . . you are creative.

So now that you know that you are creative, consider delving deeper into your creative mind. Do this by trying something new. Is there an activity that has always intrigued you, but you never tried? Or, consider doing your favorite activity in a slightly different way. These changes do not have to be great. They can be little alterations in the way you do things, or slightly different paths to arrive at a familiar place. You will be surprised as to what you learn about yourself and the fun you will have on this road to self-discovery. .
