Creativity is an amazing power we each possess.
Our unique ability to make our world; to build; invent; 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 shown the skills and creativity 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. Beyond that, we have instant worldwide communications, and 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 have the ability to make this world better.
Creativity can be expressed in any number of ways. We can design and build things on any level, whether microscopic or gargantuan. The possibilities of the human mind to create are only limited by our imaginations. I know a lot of what is going on these days makes that seem impossible, but it is still true, and that is hugely positive.
Our ability to create increases our options. Life is not just about either/or. 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.
Creativity frequently changes the world
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, traveling 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 of the world around you. 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 lives. We are capable of creating virtually anything for ourselves.
Don’t lose hope. Consciousness creates reality. We can create a better world.
Finding positivity is not hard, but it does require action.
Knowing that you have the creative spark within you to imagine, discover and build a better life for yourself, you can lift your spirits. When use our creativity to build better things, and work from a place of positivity, we empower ourselves. When we feel empowered, we often spread that feeling to others around us, and as such can build more positive feelings. We can use the positive feelings this generates to dissolve negative feelings. When we take away negative feelings, we open up space to let in positive feelings, and that is something we can be grateful for. Gratitude leads to happiness. Happiness is the ultimate positive attitude. Positive attitude begets positive energy, and that is always a good thing.
