I find creativity more enjoyable when I am creating something completely by my own thoughts and by my own rules. I say make your own as you go! Feel free! This empowerment does wonders for the soul.
You are CREATIVE! Thank goodness life allows us to improve and grow, to learn, to prosper, to succeed, to fall down and get up. You are creating something right not wrong. You are learning, you are enriching yourself and others around you.
I love this video clip, my favorite! I know many of you have seen it, but it is a wonderful reminder of our abilities to create. You can watch it HERE.

Here are a few comments from a few people you might know who share their views on creativity.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
Arthur Koestler:
Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
Beatrix Potter:
Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.
Buckminster Fuller:
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
Carl Sagan:
It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science.
Edward de Bono:
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
Erich Fromm:
Conditions for creativity are to be puzzled; to concentrate; to accept conflict and tension; to be born everyday; to feel a sense of self.
Erich Fromm:
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
Franklin D. Roosevelt:
Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
Have a happy and creative day
