its true, 100% true that blogs can make money.

Another good exercise could be to go to a museum with a friend or two, and comment with them at every picture you see. Tell them what you think and, more important, listen to what they believe. Many people, especially teenagers chat with their friends online. This is good when you’re far from them, but it’s very different from talking to them face to face. I think it’s easier to be creative when you’re outside.
Jason’s idea is also good. Communication is the key

There are so many myths about creativity being a gift from God which shall be cleared to whoever reads this post.

I’m thinking the dictionary people arrived at the word “transcend” because your replacement with the “word “use” could imply change. If I take something that exists and find a new use for it then I have been innovative—a creative use of something that already exists.

I’m also wondering if it’s possible to be a creative person—creative 24/7. A person may lie a lot but that doesn’t make them a liar. Is it ever accurate to label a person as creative? A person may create something from nothing at which moment (or during that period of creativity) they were being creative, however, the next moments, say in selling their creation or basking it the glory of their creation, they were no longer being creative. The next day they may create something else, but in the interim perhaps they were being abusive to their spouse in which case they did something abusive but that doesn’t make them an abusive person. A person might go through a period of creativity in which case they might be labeled as a creative person, however, most such people eventually go though extended periods of drought.

Creativity is much the same as enlightened. As far as I can tell one does not achieve and sustain indefinitely (24/7) the experience of enlightenment. It’s an on-off thing much like a 60-watt AC light bulb, it appears to be on all the time but it’s also off 50% of the time. To others one might have the appearance of being enlightened (on all the time) but the “enlightened” person knows better. For one nano-second I’m enlightened and if you ask me a question I know the answer, however if you ask me the same question in the following nano-second I don’t know. The most brilliant person I know has moments of not knowing.

One pitfall in the wanting to be creative game (or even trying to inspire others to be creative) is that it can turn into a should, yet another expression of dissatisfaction, such as wanting to be happy, or thin, or wealthy, instead of intending things to be the way they are. I’m not being creative, or you’re not being creative, (make-wrong), there must be something wrong with me.

For sure there are activities (actions) one can do that will create space for creativity, or increase the frequency between knowing and not knowing; that is to say, some people have become stuck in not knowing or not being creative.
