A creative person has the greatest chance of surviving in a world that seems hopeless more than an uninventive individual. Creativity is the doorway to getting closer to solutions that we wouldn’t normally think about.
The expansion of our creativity is as important as doing things that are considered normal. Creativity involves the discovery of the unusual from the mundane. The flow of creativity is powerful, especially when it helps to advance people into greatness or solutions that can help society.
Our society becomes stagnate when there’s no creativity flowing in our daily lives. It’s amazing how a family without enough funds can come up with ingenious solutions to expand the resources to last through times of scarcity.
Some fundamentals allow creativity to expand in ways that we wouldn’t imagine. For creativity to advance humankind, there must be a flow of purity or vessels without malice. Great inventions are often delivered through pure creativity. If inventions are discovered by a malicious generation they have the power to be destructive, instead of being helpful. Sometimes the pruning process is often necessary before we can get to the position of bliss.
Human beings have the responsibility of being clean vessels that can hold what they receive so that they can help society without destroying others in the process. Creativity can advance the cause of human existence to be awesome or unpleasant. It’s a fine line that human beings have to battle with all the time. Inventors are always expanding upon what already exists and that might cause friction between organisations or people that are doing similar things.
The existence of shared goals is what stands against people or what might unite them. For example, the problem of load shedding is a common problem that stands against businesses, remote workers and students, especially during a time where people can’t gather in common places like they used to. At the moment, there are lots of individuals or organisations who are applying different solutions to negate the problem of load shedding. But they are challenged by some forms of limitations.
Creative solutions on an individual basis are limited to what a person has readily available and to what a person can afford. Organisations are also restricted by human resources, technology, financial resources and the availability of other resources. When we understand the goal of what we want to achieve, we can start to use our resources in creative ways.
Most of the time, meaningful solutions come when we are ready to accept help that we can’t achieve through our reasoning or resources. Imagination is what separates an average writer from a renowned writer who will outlive time. Physicists who make profound contributions often have to step into a creative space that is beyond what they have learned through research papers.
The faculties of creativity are outside of what we have always learned or done. Some of the greatest classics are conceptualised outside of the library or studio while doing mundane activities. We must surrender and accept that we need the inspiration to direct us when we get stuck. It’s the battle of fighting through the battleground, even when we have failed more than a couple of times to win through various challenges.
Creativity is the door that opens when we are willing to wrestle longer than we can stand. It requires perseverance and hard work. Sometimes it requires stillness. For creativity to abound, we need the Creator of life to lead the way.
