Most of us think we're not at all creative... in any way.
That we've not one creative bone in our bods.
Gawd, bah and humbug.
Because of course, all made up gobbledegook.
Really?
Yes.
And do you know what, I'll prove it.
That's right.
I'll prove it to you beyond any doubt whatsoever that you, me, the next door neighbour, and yes, even that person you feel is the dimmest on the planet, is creative, inventive and a magical marvel!
Big promise huh.
Okay, so the people in your life, what are they to you?
?????
Yes, not who are they to you, but what are they to you?
Stumped?
Let me give you a few clues.
See your family member over there, what kinds of labels have you given them?
Happy, sad, intuitive, grumpy, friendly, mean, blunt, caring, joyous...
Yes, they're probably all of them, at certain points in the day, week, month or year.
And what about others you come into contact with, how do you interpret what they're about? And what about those you see in the news, on the television... got anything to say about them?
Here's the truth --
We all create and invent human characters all the time. WE CREATE them. Not as they are, but as WE see them. We INVENT them as per our imaginary brush and palette.
And don't we make them up to be anyone or anything we choose? Don't we just do that, label and describe them anyway we please, and then keep on adding to it?
And we're doing it... ALL THE TIME... every DAY.
Marvellous creators and inventors or what!!
And look, it gets rather exciting because if we truly understand that we create and invent others out of our own perception (and we also do that to ourselves - invent ourselves to be the current 'us'.) then... we can create and invent ourselves and others, to be the best versions of them and us we can ever make!
Of course, that'll have major consequences if we do that.
How so?
Well, if we've created and invented others (and ourselves) to be rather negative, boring and not that interesting, then the direct opposite of that is, well... challenging if not revolutionary!
And we can create and invent that ... at the drop of a hat. As we proven we can, day after day after day.

So ask this question, to each and every area of your life - "what can I create and invent here that would lead me to get the result I want?"
Now doesn't THAT get your creative juices flowing? About what's REALLY possible for you?
And doesn't this answer my claim at the top of this post - that we're all creative, all of us? It's just that we haven't fully realised that - until now :)
