Imagination & Creativity

..

..

.

Creativity invokes the artistic

and the analytical.

Creative thinkers visualize, create, interpret

and consider things in new ways... often

unorthodox ways to provide new solutions.

Creativity comes from God because

God is the Creator.

In the beginning...

God created.

To create meaning in our lives...

we must turn within.

Our creativity is naturally a part of our life

experiences and what we allow ourselves to

experience.

Whatever our passion may be, we have been called

to emerge out of the shadows of ourselves

and work at it... with all our hearts.

Whatever it is that we do...we should do it

in such a way... that it brings glory to God.

It is our privilege to uncover and utilize, to the

best of our ability, the sensitive and intensely

human world of creativity and authentic

power buried within us.

It has always been through the arts that

we have been able to release our emotions

and feelings, to find a way to express ourselves,

and to, thus, release what it means to be human:

our self-expression and internal thoughts.

Creativity is a unique talent that not only

creates... it innovates. It is the ability to produce

work that combines, synthesizes existing ideas,

applies unique methods, glean from real world

experts, learn when it suits them, research or

produce something totally authentic. Ofttimes

spontaneous, unrestrained, passionate and

unplanned is the way to go.

Imagination and creativity has the ability to

bring something into existence that once was

unimaginable; yet it becomes useful and relevant.

Creativity and the profound impact that it can

have on our lives cannot be so easily taught or

limited to a box. Many innovators can take

an idea from concept to unleashed creation.

They arise from serendipity, a sudden burst of

inspiration and genius that could have been

mastered in a garage.

They simply do what they do.

Creative ability is so much more than art

making. They are able to look at things from

unique angles, experiment with multiple ideas

and concepts. They are experimenters. They are

willing to step up their creativity because they

don't sweat the mistakes. Failure simply gives

them an opportunity to take a sad song and make

it better. It makes them think beyond the obvious.

The more ideas that may have flopped produced

better ideas that made things rock.

Creativity is a vitally important facet to

human development.It is the knowledge,

understanding, and ability to shape and

fashion creative energy into what we desire

to manifest.

Creativity reflects our Creator,

and it is an essential tool

for shaping the soul.

Imagination and creative spirit is the uninhibited

ability one has to form mental images of things

that either are not physically present

or have never been conceived or created by others

and then, give birth to something new or

significantly different.

As we work imaginatively and creatively with

the authentic power which

comes from within us...

it quickens our capacity for insight and

allows the flow of conscious creativity.

This, in and of itself, opens the floodgates

to our intuitive guidance.

As we allow the Divine power of God

within us to lead and guide us...we will

be able to create, live, love, grow, and

leave this world better than we found it.

Creativity is allowing oneself

to make mistakes.

There are no mistakes.

There are only learning

experiences

as to what works for us and

what does not work.

Let us allow ourselves to experiment

with the inner creative power

that is accessible to each of us.

Let us experiment with these creative powers

in a way that fits our uniqueness as a creative

being. In doing so we are able to access the true

depth and breadth of what we can create.
