How To Use Creativity To Improve Your Life
“Are there still original ideas in the world?”
“They beat me to that bright idea; what else can I do?”
“I’ve failed many times before that I can’t think of anything else to solve this
problem anymore.”
These statements reflect the thought of an individual who has given up on
creativity. Sadly, a lot of people share this way of thinking. They never viewed
creativity as a very useful tool to improve or improvise in life in all its diversity.
A situation that requires a solution can be approached in a variety of ways. There
isn’t a single way fix to a problem. Being creative opens new horizons and can
deliver many benefits. Creativity can sometimes be mistakenly interpreted as an
obstinate attitude. Some people think that insisting on doing things in a different
way is a sign of stubbornness.
Never hold back a good idea. Everyone is free to interpret his own unique way.
Any interpretation by itself is creativity at work. A person who enjoys creative
thinking can easily come up with innovative solutions for situations that require a
quick fix.
For instance, your car got stalled on a deserted highway due to a leaky rubber hose
on the cooling system. Tough luck! Of all places, it had to happen in the remotest
places.
If you have some chewing gum in your pocket, it just might be a handy fix. Start
chewing the gum and patch it on the leak. To keep the gum in place, tie it with a
piece of rag. This quick fix might do the trick so you can drive several miles without
an overheated engine, until you get to a service station to have the leaky hose
replaced.
There used to be a television series entitled “MacGyver.” The main character is an
extremely creative and crafty guy. Whenever he finds himself in a tight fix, he tries
to find a way out of it with his quick fixes utilizing available materials around him.
In a way, creativity is a never-ending learning process. From learning, you
gain untold benefits, which you can use in real life situations.
Being creative might require you to think out-of-the-box, venturing your mind
into the uncommon. You can never be sure of your ideas until you try them. As long
as there is no perceived danger involved, it is always worth a try.
Inventions are products of creative minds. The field of science, in whatever branch
you may touch on, is invention itself. Without creative minds, science would have
been a forlorn field of knowledge.
It must be noted that most adaptations to improve or improvise are aimed at
improving current conditions. Upon analyzing honest applications of creativity, the
ultimate intention is to achieve good for all and the will to build lasting peace. After
all, this intention is what counts most.
Erich Fromm spelled it out clearly, “The conditions for creativity are: to be puzzled,
to concentrate, to accept conflict and tension, to be born everyday, and to feel a
sense of self.”
