Answer 1

I've always been thought of as "creative."
I was always the kid in the class who could draw the best. I always got to help teachers create things for the displays and draw my friends funny pictures. My stories were also always the best. I won awards for best bookmark picture in KDG and it only grew from there. I was always interested in art. I liked crafts and I even took a few summer camp classes to learn some new things. I liked to watch craft shows on tv and as I got older, I liked designing things and thinking about how things look (like the way my bedroom was set up). I began rearranging my bedroom monthly, never seeming to find just the best way. I have always written stories and made little books from the time i knew how to draw and write. As Ive gotten older I realize my art isn't the best, but it's always unique and the experience is interesting.
I am now an elementary teacher and use creativity in many lessons!

Creativity comes from within me. I was born to be creative. But I think it also grew with me as I indulged myself into the shows, stories, classes, and all.
If you are looking to be a more creative person, take some classes at a community college on something that interests you: scrapbooking, drawing, clay sculpture, sewing/crocheting/knitting, creative writing,..... the possibilities are endless.

Creativity is very meaningful to me. It fulfills my need to express myself where in other ways I may not have known how.

Answer 2

I try to be creative everyday, after a while it comes naturally...but using creativity can be a danger ..a lot of people don't have creativity and they don't understand..they don't open their minds which is an important step in training the creative thought process

Answer 3

Creativity is one of the modes for personal possession.

A. Taking Possession
§ 54

We take possession of a thing [a] by directly grasping it physically, [b] by forming it, and [c] by merely marking it as ours.

Addition: These modes of taking possession involve the advance from the category of singularity to that of universality. It is only of a single thing that we can take possession physically, while marking a thing as mine is taking possession of it in idea. In the latter case I have an idea of the thing and mean that the thing as a whole is mine, not simply the part which I can take into my possession physically.

§ 56

[b] When I impose a form on something, the thing's determinant character as mine acquires an independent externality and ceases to be restricted to my presence here and now and to the direct presence of my awareness and will.

Remark: To impose a form on a thing is the mode of taking possession most in conformity with the Idea to this extent, that it implies a union of subject and object, although it varies endlessly with the qualitative character of the objects and the variety of subjective aims.

Under this head there also falls the formation of the organic. What I do to the organic does not remain external to it but is assimilated by it. Examples are the tilling of the soil, the cultivation of plants, the taming in and feeding of animals, the preservation of game, as well as contrivances for utilising raw materials or the forces of nature and processes for making one material produce effects on another, and so forth.

§ 57.

Man, pursuant to his immediate existence within himself, is something natural, external to his concept. It is only through the development of his own body and mind, essentially through his self-consciousness's apprehension of itself as free, that he takes possession of himself and becomes his own property and no one else's.
