The Meaning of Creativity

The Meaning of Creativity

In a post, I asked the question, “what does creativity mean to you?” I had several people comment to provide their thoughts on the topic. Here are what they had to say:

Creativity is having the natural inclination to see things differently and having the courage to explore it.
– Kristina Lucia Andrews

1.  Creativity explores

It means a whole lot of fun and freedom. To explore, think, push past the boundaries. It is finding that gift you have and putting it into action with your interactions. It is the sacred space of internal pleasure where passion allows you to create! Something original, unique, and inspired by your imagination! - Paula Goodman

Based on the word create.... create=making something from nothing..... Creativity = finding new ideas or new ways to do things..... seeing an old principle and finding a new way to apply it...... Creativity is doing or being something new in an old situation!!!! – W. Kevin Ward

Creating a sign of hope and possibility by creating known from the unknown. Keep an open mind and not forcing your preconceived notions on mind, body, and matter. – Shaema Talib

Without creativity, the world would be stuck somehow someplace. At its best, it creates new things and ways to see the world and explore it. – Erja Halkota

I think creativity is about being open to new things without pressuring yourself to HAVE to make new things. It's about giving yourself (and others) space to explore! – Jacy Imilkcowskis

Creativity means the freedom to express yourself exactly as you are without limitations. – Hallie Avolio

2. Creativity communicates

I found creativity in writing and poetry, then it expanded to visuals and beyond. Expressing words and adding visuals that promote thoughts and evoke a response. It comes from within really. But experimenting with the qualities in you that make you feel the passion. - Paula Goodman

Creativity is a very special gift we get to give the world! – Chantel Soumis

Creativity cannot be taught. We already have it. We can only look for what our own unique quality is. We all have the ability to nurture creativity in us!
- Paula Goodman

3.  Creativity exists in us

I believe creativity is a sign of possibility, faith in abundance & growth! This universe has so much to offer and we are blessed to experience it. Creativity allows you to look at things from the uniqueness you are blessed with. Since each one of us is a unique creation! – Ruheena Kabir

A download from the universal source of infinity – Shannon Whittington

When creativity knocks, answer! – Carrie Bohlig

Creativity keeps me out of trouble!
– Wendy Gilhula

4.  Creativity inspires happiness

Creativity is a powerful influencer. It must be fueled to grow....and it does. I’m a happier person for finding the synergy with my creativity! – Paula Goodman

Summary

Creativity stirs the heart to explore thoughts, ideas, feelings, and communicate them through expressions of creative works. Our creations flow from a natural inner passion to do something new. As we express our creative soul, our being is fueled with joy.

Creativity means different things to different people. What does Creativity mean to you?
