"EXPRESS YOURSELF"

 

              Exploring Creativity

 

 

|When I visualize exploration, Star Trek immediately comes to mind. It was also and remains one of my favorite Sci-Fi shows. Often, when we think of creativity, we approach it in the vein of generating something new. You’re not wrong, but it reaches further than new ideas. It is a quality that allows us to think outside the box, envision possibilities, and express ourselves in many ways.

 

If I were to define creativity, it would mean self-expression. An introspective window into one’s mind, translated through whatever means you choose to share with the world. There are many ways to nurture expression and creativity that you may not have realized.

 

Self-expression should never become generalized as it is equal parts individualism and corporate. Meaning it is singular but allows others to join in the discussion.  

 

We see creativity as genius or groundbreaking, something we’ve never seen before, but you’ve probably witnessed creativity and didn’t realize what hit you. You were waiting for something unique, and sometimes it was. But then, you started to see it for what it was: self-expression.

 

Hello!

 

Sometimes, pre-assumption cloaks creativity. That may sound strange since it’s supposed to be innovative and new. But we need to see it through a different lens. Confused? Let me explain.

 

A child viewed as misbehaving or distracted isn’t always factual but may be a sign of creativity. They don’t always know how to express whatever creative juice flows through them, so they use any means available.

 

For example, writing or drawing on walls is not always bad. Isn’t that how some of the world’s most famous artists started?

 

We should never stifle but encourage with a positive redirection of energy that can stimulate and inspire creativity further.

 

Let’s embrace curiosity and allow young minds and ours to stay curious.

 

Collaboration is a spark that flames creativity. What’s the saying? “Two heads are better than one.” Conversations with like-minded individuals are a resource for creativity.

 

Creativity allows us to see ourselves through the expression of others. It can help establish identity. So many people lack a true picture of who they are and who they want to be.

 

That is not to say we should emulate or copy, but recognize and learn from the experience.

 

Creativity is a journey, and embracing the process rather than solely focusing on the result is essential. Explore, experiment, and enjoy creative potential.
