Are you creative? Am I creative? What defines creativity and an artist? Do I need to draw, paint, sing, write, or sculpt well?
I've been mulling over these questions lately. So, do I need to have a fine product that I can sell to be qualified as a creative person? I don't think so... and here's why...
Creativity is within everyone one of us. It's how we dress, how we work, and how we live. Here's an example of creativity in how we work... I'm a scientist and research is a creative endeavor. You have to approach a novel, significant question and answer it in a way that will examine every possibility. Most of the time an experiment won't work exactly as you expect and you have to optimize the system and change small things to figure it out.
On another spectrum is artistic creativity in how we live, such as journaling, drawing, and even blogging. I keep a personal journal that most of the time has incomplete sentences and random drawings. I usually will use it to process whatever I'm going through in life and will sometimes use it to vent.
Anyway, I think everyone is creative in some form or another. Do something creative today! What did I do today....I'm wearing a fun outfit at work!
