Some think creativity is your ability to draw or paint a pretty picture?

Creativity can seem innate, but like many things, it is actually a delicate balance of nature and nurture. In other words, creative thinking can be enhanced by external forces, and isn’t necessarily reliant on “good genes” or natural ability.

 

Some say creativity is a skill that can't be taught. Some say it's your ability to draw or paint a pretty picture? In my opinion the theory of one's potential to be creative has evolved over the years. I've come to an understanding that being creative is a skill that everyone has but it's just used in so many forms that we not aware of.

Today we hear the terms 'problem solvers', creative directors, innovators, brand leaders even being on a budget forces one to get creative by finding alternative solutions. I say we can draw, we just have to define the tool that best suits 'you'. Creativity could be your capability to furnish your new apartment on a budget, coming up with text for your new blog or a skill to always find the silver lining when things aren't looking that great. I find creativity is in all that we do but it's not always a talent that we identify with. Tapping into one's creativity can be challenging but yet so rewarding when viewing the end product whatever it may be. My challenge to all is to find your creative tool and use it to the best of your capability, and don't forget to sign your art piece when you done!
