Everyone can be creative whether you realize it or not
A lot of people tend to think that creativity is binary
Either you have it or you don´t, but
in reality, we do all have it, it´s just a matter of
how you interpret it, you know, some people think
I´m not an artist, so I don´t used creativity at work
but it´s more than just artistic expression
Whether you are working in retail
or in a office job or even if you´re a professional athlete
You´re probably using creativity
to make decisions and solve problems on the daily bases
Creativity is both a skill and a process
something you can learn, and like any other skill
It´s something you can get better at if you practice
and repeated use
Now you might think well I don´t have time
to sit down and create something everyday
This is where it's important to realize the difference between
using creativity and actually
creating something. You know in a lot of ways creativity
is all about how you see things, so
yeah you can use it to create poems
or paintings, but you can also use it in
practical ways like coming up with an alternate solutions
for a work project
or organizing things in your home, so the next time you think
I´m not creative or I´m not as creative as some other people
take a step back and really take a look at
what is it you do on a day to day basis
You might be surprised that how often you´re using creativity
