Being Creative to Improve Your life
“Are there still original ideas in the world?”
“I hit a brilliant idea, what can I do?”
“I have failed many times before that I cannot think of anything else to solve this problem”.
These statements reflect the thought of a person who has renounced creativity. Unfortunately, many people share this mindset. They had never viewed creativity as a tool to improve or improvise in life in all its diversity.
A situation that requires a solution can be approached in various ways. There is no single way to solve a problem. Being creative opens new horizons and can bring many benefits. Creativity can sometimes be misinterpreted as an obstinate attitude. Some people think that insisting on doing things differently is a sign of stubbornness.
Never hold a good idea. Everyone is free to interpret in their own way. Any interpretation is the creativity at work by itself. A person who enjoys creative thinking can easily find creative solutions to situations that require a quick solution.
For example, a man’s car stalled on a deserted road, due to a rubber hose leaking on the cooling system. No luck! Of all places, it had to occur in remote locations.
If he has a gum in his pocket, he may well be a solution at hand. Top of the gum and patch the leak. To keep the gum in place, tie it with a cloth. This quick fix may do the trick if he can drive for miles without overheating the engine to a service station to have replaced the leaking pipe.
There was a television series called “MacGyver.” The main character is a type extremely creative and crafty. Whenever you’re in a good solution, try to find a way to cope with quick fixes available materials around.
In a way, creativity is a learning process never stops. Learning, the benefits are incalculable, you can use in real situations.
To be creative may need you to thinking outside the box, your spirit of adventure in the rare. You can never be sure of his ideas until proven otherwise. Although there is no perceived danger involved, it is always worth trying.
Inventions are the product of creative minds. The field of science, in any branch you can play, is an invention itself. Without creative minds, science would have been a neglected area of knowledge.
It should be noted that most adaptations to improve or improvise are aimed at improving current conditions. In analyzing the claims of honest creativity, the intention is to achieve good for all and the desire to build a lasting peace. After all, that intention is what counts most.
Erich Fromm wrote clearly that, “The conditions of creation are: to be puzzled, to concentrate, to accept conflict and tension, being born every day and have a sense of self.”
