[Help] Creativity; What is it to you ? Updates to this post /post/249037-creativity-what-is-it-to-you Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:13:52 +0100 Reply from nab /post/249037-creativity-what-is-it-to-you#reply-5332314 Being creative is the best way to be one with God. There are times when suddenly out of nowhere I get an inspiration to create something, I just cant wait, irrespective of the time of the day and the work load pending in front of me, doing it becomes the most important. Once I start creating its like effortless, spontaneous, I just know what to do and when. My consciousness move out of the dimension of time. On completing it am amazed with my own creativity. I couldnt have done better. Feel proud when someone praises my creation, but inside I know it was not me, it was the hands of God working through me.

It’s a wonderful thing. imo. Where would we be without it?

I used to be a lot more creative in my life than I am now. I remember when I used to work in childcare that I would set up the most wonderful experiences for the children and it would be fun for me too! The children in my classes used to get very dirty and I would warn parents not to dress them too nicely. Children learn through their senses and play. They have to be allowed to touch and manipulate and explore. I used to get such a feeling of accomplishment and fullfillment. Those were some really good times. Playdough, sand, spaghetti in tubs, all kinds of colors of fingerpaint, mud, water tables, planting seeds and watching them grow, cooking, building, making music with most any kind of instrument…I could go on and on.

I need to re-create those times for myself now. Thank-you for reminding me.[/quote]

Your welcome :)

And all we have to do to see where all that creativity comes from is to look around us.

Have you ever considered how many flowers there are in the world?

Or how many types of butterflies?

or how there are 6 billion people on planet earth, and everyone of us have a different set of fingerprint?

And also, a different voice print?

And how flexible our bodies are built, so they can heal themselves, and so many
other wonderful things.

How we were given the intelligence that we have, and the ability to receive more?

I could go on and on, and would like to, but, its getting late, and past time for bed.

Thanks for asking my very creative friend…..

God bless…..

Especially when you are trying to create a complex system. However, you are right by saying that blindly following guides for no reason other than you think it is the best way or has been done a certain way can inhibit creativity. So to balance the need for guides in creativity with the need to allow for change in creativity, we need to teach people how to determine or make guides to use when creating something. Take some time to determine what they need or want, take time to inventory what they have or can make, then make a plan to use those components to make their creation, and then start creating.

As a child i was totally into lego. I was building everything with it. Only problem i had was the limits of what i could build cause i did not have enough lego`s.

Even today i`m feeling this creativity living inside. I see you when you talk about doing things this way or that way. I find that people usually do things in a way that`s easily improved. I work very systematic and i use my creativity to change my surroundings to make everything easier and faster. Sometimes it is the smallest thing that makes the biggest change.
