What makes creativity so essential to everyday life? For the obvious reason that it enriches existence in incalculable ways. Creativity is an approach to life that values novelty and weaves unexpected connections between disparate concepts. To be creative is to treat each day as an adventure in discovering and sharing the extraordinary in the mundane. While the act of creation is often associated with creativity, the original meaning of the word is "to grow". When we are in the creative zone, we experience a sense of connection to the universe and all of its inhabitants. Some of humanity's greatest triumphs, from the creation of the wheel to Mozart's sonatas, can be traced back to creative processes. Each stage of human development demonstrates our innate creativity. The most resourceful individuals are able to circumvent challenges because they recognize them not only as brakes but also as openings for innovation. To make an exquisite meal when you don't know how to cook, or to paint an extraordinary landscape when you live in a freezing attic and cannot afford a box full of paint, you have to be creative and open your mind to new possibilities. In this article, we'll discuss 15 ways to use your imagination in common situations.
