10V The Creative Drive

Creativity:  the use of imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work.
Vision: the formation of a mental image of something that is not perceived as real and is not present to the senses. 
Muse: reflect deeply on a subject.
          the source of an artist's inspiration.
 Creativity is something that is present in all of us, but it is up to us to dig deep and use it in our daily lives. There is so much more to creativity than the artistic side of it, because I consider myself creative, but cannot draw or paint to save my life.  What I think makes me creative is that I am able to think of new ways to solve a problem and use them where as someone else would solve the same problem in a more simpler way; I like to think outside of the box.

There are things that a person needs to have in order to be creative, and that is a vision and muse. A vision is important to have because that way you have an idea of what it is you want to do, and you’re not shooting blindly into the night, although it’s nice to have a vision, I think it should be something that is reasonable. A person also needs to have a muse, something that inspires them, it could be a thing or a person, but they need something to get them going. If a person is able to find what their vision and muse is, then I think that their future is wide open and can be anything that they imagine it to be.
