Good Morning and Happy Friday! CREATIVITY! When we hear this word, sometimes a common reply might be, “I’m not very creative”. It may be that the term is not always understood. One definition of creativity is ‘the use of imagination or original ideas’. Creativity is where something new and valuable is created, i.e. an idea, an artistic or literary work, a painting, a song, a poem, a solution, an invention, etc. On a day to day basis, how is creativity being used by you? I see creativity as the ability to be open-minded and willing to see things differently and being open to new solutions. Those moments when a solution or revelation is made that gives you new information; those moments when things are revealed that ‘you didn’t know that you know’; that is a practical example of a creativity moment for me. The next time someone ask you if you are a creative person, you may want to respond, “Yes I am, when I give myself permission to be”. – Paul’s thoughts “Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people”. – Leo Burnett “Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will”. – George Bernard Shaw “Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity”. – Charles Mingus “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while”. – Steve Jobs “Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. ” ― Pablo Picasso “Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.” ― Brené Brown “You cant use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” ― Maya Angelou Make it a Powerful Day!
