Comments On Creativity

What does age have to do with creativity? You may think you are too old to do anything creative with your life. If so, read the following facts:

GIUSEPPE VERDI wrote Falstaff when he was eighty his best opera.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN invented the bifocal lens when he was seventy-eight.
FRANK LOYD WRIGHT completed the Guggenheim Museum one of his masterpieces, when he was ninety-one years of age
MICHELANGELO was painting and striking frescoes in the Pauline chapel of the Vatican at eighty-nine.
SO, the ability to change things around us and thus contribute to the culture may actually increase in the later years.

MADELINE LENGEL (a writer) said her personal credo is well summarized by these few lines, which reflect the stubbornness that has stood her in such good stead so far:

Human beings are the only creatures who are allowed to fail. If an ant fails, its dead. But were allowed to learn from our mistakes and from our failures. And thats how I learn, by falling flat on my face and picking myself up and starting all over again. If Im not free to fail, I will never start another book, Ill never start a new thing.

The ability to discover what one can do well, and enjoy doing it, is the hallmark of all creative people. After you make that discovery you will never work again. Pray and ask God to help you discover your truest interest.

To be human means to be creative. Living creatively links us with God in whose creative image we are made.

HOW YOU CAN BE CREATIVE:
Find out what you like and what you hate about life.
Start doing more of what you love, less of what you hate.
Develop what you lack.
Find ways to express what moves you.
Look at problems from as many viewpoints as possible.
Most important in life are: Love and Work.

Did you know that even a brain specialist could not tell Einsteins brain from yours or mine? In terms of capacity for processing information, all brains are extremely alike.

Experience has shown that when selfish goals dominate our thinking, there is no attention or time left over to learn about anything else or to approach the world creatively. Will creative goals dominate your thinking today so you can contribute something worthwhile to those around you?
