Hey, You! Yes, You!

 Yes, I am talking to you. And, I've been talking about you for months. "Oh, but
I'm not creative!" you say.
"I wish I could be more creative." A good friend of mine said this to me as we
sat in her newly, exquisitely decorated home. You see, this "uncreative" friend
bought a home that had been foreclosed upon. She gutted the insides of its
broken down structure and entirely refurbished it on her own. She was making her
claim about being uncreative as we sat in her flawlessly sponge-painted kitchen,
adorned with unique stenciling on the wall.
"I'm not an artist like you, Erika," said a former client during our lunch date
this week. As I sat across from her, I noticed the beautiful, hand crafted
jewelry that she had carefully selected to coordinate with her stunning outfit.
These friends, and many others who express the same concerns, are indeed
creative. We are all naturally creative beings and are creative each day through
our living. Yes, some people have a more widely recognized talent for arts such
as painting, sculpture or music. But, creativity is also about the art of
living.
One of my favorite definitions for the word creative is "having the power to
bring into being." As humans who were created, we have an innate ability to
continue creating, bringing into being our dreams and desires. We display
artistry in each choice we make and in every situation we create. We are
creative when we explore the endless possibilities for shaping and reshaping our
lives instead of treating the circumstances of our lives as a given.
