We have been given talents and time with latent abilities and opportunities to use and develop them in service. Real happiness is found in helping one another. Our challenge is to use our creativity to bring order and goodness into our and the lives with whom we live and work.

Creativity manifests itself in many ways. A creative person can see alternative solutions to a problem where others may not have a clue. An individual who applies a known principle to a new situation, is creative. Those who create exquisite products are creative. On the other hand, seemingly simple products can be the result of highly creative skills. Some put ideas together quickly. Others can take a wide variety of ideas and weave them together in a way that increases understanding. Some can reduce a complex idea to its simplest elements and others are able to work on several different projects in a day.

We are also different in the way we produce a creative object. Some are adept at using their hands for fine and delicate work. Others express their creativity by picture painting, others by house painting. The final outcome of their efforts may be in each case equally creative An individual who uses sticks, stones and seed pods for decorative accessories and doing centre pieces is creative and such a hobby can prove to be productive.

Some who prepare unexpected nutritious snacks, rather than the usual sweets are also expressing creativity. The person who develops an unusual introduction to a speaking assignment is creative. Someone who arranges garden plants to complement each other and increase the beauty of the neighborhood is creative. The person who creates beauty and order in the most humble circumstances is expressing creativity and blessing the family. When we use our creative ability to benefit others, our creativity has its greatest expression. Imagine a teacher using creative techniques to teach students to come to understanding and loving Mathematics!!

Every one of us can improve our creative abilities. Every day brings new experiences and the opportunities to acquire more knowledge and understanding, making our potential for creative leadership greater. Think of Pintrest with its wealth of creative ideas. They don't just happen. Many individuals share creative ideas to help others learn creativity and perhaps expand or improve these ideas.

We can't just sit back and wait for ideas to come our way. It's this sentiment that cause people to believe that they are not creative at all. Creativity requires work, sometimes hard work and as we create more ideas enter our minds. In 1902, 45 months after the day on which the Curies announced the probable existence of radium, Marie finally carried off the victory in this war of attrition : she succeeded in preparing a decigram of pure radium, and made a first determination of the atomic of the new substance. "The incredulous scientists could only bow before the facts, before the superhuman obstinacy of a woman."

We can increase our creativity by stimulating our imagination. George Bernard Shaw wrote "Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will." Creativity requires courage and a willingness to risk failure. We often become more creative by increasing our knowledge.

Creativity adds zest, beauty, interests and rewards to our relationship with others. Therefore, we ought to challenge ourselves to become creative.
