How I Define Creativity :)

What is Creativity?

After doing some research, I found a definition of what creativity is. I can relate to this definition and find that it goes along with how I view what makes up creativity:

"Creativity is the bringing into being of something which did not exist before, either as a product, a process or a thought.

You would be demonstrating creativity if you:

1) Invent something which has never existed before

2) Invent something which exists elsewhere but you are not aware of

3) Invent a new process for doing something

4) Reapply an existing process or product into a new or different market

5) Develop a new way of looking at something (bringing a new idea into existence)

6) Change the way someone looks at something

In fact, we are all creative every day because we are constantly changing the ideas which we hold about the world about us. Creativity does not have to be about developing something new to the world, it is more to do with developing something new to ourselves. When we change ourselves, the world changes with us, both in the way the world is affected by our changed actions and in the changed way that we experience the world. "

Creativity lets us explore not only who we are, but it allows us to experience new things, be different and unique, as well as opens our eyes to new ideas, philosophies, and thoughts. The cool thing about Creativity is that a person can choose just how much they want to be creative... meaning whether someone does or makes something considered to be big or small... no matter what, it is still creative... especially to that person who receives joy or pride for what they have accomplished with their creative mind.
