Provoking Your Inner Creativity

We all have creativity, whether we like it or not it's there. Once harnessed, creativity can unleash a power that effects generation after generation. Take music for example, the mainstream Pop we have today is due to the history of British music - you didn't think it would come out of nowhere - did you?

Your creativity is you. It is physically forming matter that comes from within, through emotion and experience. You may sit and think - NO, I'm just not the creative type. This isn't true. We all find ways to pour our emotion into the things we love, but creativity is not just the stereotypical 'arty' things you see in day to day life.If you own a business, it takes that creativity for new ideas, for new plans, for the business itself to move on. Just like anything it takes practice! You cannot merely wake up one day and form a masterpiece. You need to equip yourself to do so am I right? At the age of 11-12 I went through some incredibly rough patches at school - therefore I withdrew from life into myself. Now I DO NOT suggest this at all. It caused mass destruction socially and almost obliterated my self-confidence. However, on the flip side, I got all my emotion out through art, music and literature - constantly working on small projects such as game design and programming. This is one of the reasons this comes so naturally to me.

I am definitely an introvert. It is calculated that only 25% of the population are introverts. Being around people wears me down and I need my 'cave time' or the crankyness will begin to unveil itself to you. This is not all positive but does reap its benefits. Whilst you may be talking with friends, and going out to parties, I will sit and work on other things including my creativity. Now I have always struggled socially, and in the past I have had to go out of my way to work on my social life. I realise now that it's having people around you, to encourage you - that's the key to push through, a lesson I have well learnt these past few years. So...in conclusion, it's finding that BALANCE between your social life and your inner self, that is key.

So...yeh. Be creative!
