Creativity is defined as having or showing imagination. Art is defined as the product of creative activities. Therefore, by definition, we are all artists in our own way. We all are creative and express our creativity in different ways in our lives.
Some of us express ourselves in the clothes that we choose and the original ways that we combine and wear fashions. Others can whip up a wonderful meal out of leftovers. Still others can take beautiful photographs or design an entertaining Facebook page or problem-solve at work.
Many of us take our creativity for granted because it comes easily to us but sometimes we should pause and consider how our skills help make us the unique and special people that we are. Take the time, especially at this hectic time of year, to take stock of our own talents and gifts and give ourselves the gift of personal recognition and appreciation.
Art is the extension of creativity and a form of personal expression. We are not all visual artists but we can all be creative and the artists of our own lives.
Share with us on the blog how you are personally creative. We would love to hear from you.
