Positivity: Creativity

We have an amazing power in creativity.

Our unique ability to make our world, to build, to invent, to evolve, to start from a raw idea and conjure an amazing construct is incredible.  While we have observed other creatures on this world capable of building and using tools, none has show the skills we have to imagine and create wonders.

We take so many aspects of our world for granted.  From the smallest things like running water and electricity for our homes, to the supermarkets where we can buy food from around the world, to the cloud and its seemingly endless amount of data storage; all of these things were our creation.

No matter how difficult things may seem, no matter how rough and unbelievable stories we read are, our creativity is endless.  And that is something to feel positive about.  We can make this world better.

I watched the premier of Neil deGrasse Tyson hosting the new Cosmos.  I was pleased beyond words to see a program on science being aired on national broadcast television.  This is not just science, it is color, it is imagination, it is a chance for anyone to access a bigger, more amazing universe.  It was made accessible to anyone, and it made me feel positive that the creativity of people in this world can overcome negativity and adversity and open countless doors.

There is almost never only one way to deal with a given situation.  There is nearly always another option, another choice, some other possibility.  We do not live in a world of black and white and extremes, we live in a world bound pretty much only by what we can imagine, and from there what we create.

Look at what we have created over the centuries.  From the Great Pyramids of Egypt to the Gutenberg Printing Press to the steam engine to the airplane to rockets to microcomputers, we have used our creativity to build a world for ourselves that is incomparable.  We have evolved our means artificially with fantastic inventions, all brought forth by creative minds.

We were once hunter/gathers, travelling to different places during different seasons both to track game and to avoid weather extremes.  Now we are resident in climates that are nearly inhospitable for months at a time.  This is all due to our extraordinary creativity.

No matter how small you are feeling, no matter how bad a day you might be having, think about all the possibility.  Whether matters change and improve in an hour, a day, a week, or a month, we have the ability to use our creativity to make our world a better place.  We have creativity to allow us to better our life.  We are capable of creating virtually anything for ourselves.

Finding positivity is not hard, it just requires action.  Knowing that you have the creative spark within you to imagine, discover and build a better life for yourself can lift your spirits and change your attitude.  Know that despite negative things that happen, you can still create Positivity.  Positive attitude begets positive energy, and that is always a good thing.
