Creativity is for everybody .

 

There are people who are more talented than others but every human being is born a creator, very  few  people become famous ,and most of the time they become famous after death.

 

Creativity is daily, everyday life, changes and challenges us with new problems, we have  to create a solution and to make a decision.

 

We are using creativity all the time, whether we are doing house work, or  we are doing an art, work, we create things twice: once in our mind and once in reality.

 

There is a story of one of the greatest artist, Michelangelo.

 

 One day Michelangelo went to the market, where all kinds of marble were available.

When he saw an ugly, big rock, in front of the shop,he inquired about the price. The shop owner said: “If you want that ugly rock you can have it for  free, because it  has  been laying around for twelve years and nobody wants it and also there is no potential in that rock.

 

Michelangelo took that ugly rock and began to work. When the work was completed, he went back to the shop owner, and asked him to go to his house because he wanted to show him something.

 

When the shop owner arrived he could not believe his own eyes.

 

Michelangelo said: “Don’t you recognize it ? It is the same ugly rock that waited in front of your shop for twelve years”.

 

“I remember that”, he said, “but what made you think that that ugly rock could be turned into such beautiful statue?”.

 

Michelangelo said: “I did not think about it. I have been dreaming about it. When I was passing by the rock, I saw exactly the same statue:  mother Mary with Jesus on her lap, the Pietà. So I have done a small job. I have only removed the unnecessary part of the rock”.

 

 The moral of the story is: we cannot create beautiful things like Michelangelo but we can create something beautiful out of any problem or difficulty which we might have.

If we use our creativity. Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity that you are doing every day.  It is an attitude, an inner approach to life, at how you look at things, only need a passion for that.

 

Ordinary people living their rather ordinary life can also use imagination and vision to change their life, into something more interesting and beautiful.

 

The best things in life are free .

 

 Let’s use them, we get the life we create .

 

Let creativity flow into your life in  a way to direct you to the realization of your dreams.

 

Let your creative vision become a reality .

 

And, like Michelangelo, you can also say: “I did not think about it, I have been dreaming about it”.

 

Let our life be a beautiful painting, full of colors .

 

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is to you”.
