Creativity- Born with it or Develop it
Hi everyone
I spent some time yesterday looking through profiles of many of the higher ranking people here on Wealthy Afiliate for some inspiration.
My jaw nearly hit the floor, the creativity of these people is staggering and started me thinking why is that many people, myself included, always struggle with creativity yet others seem to be able to make it look a doddle
I asked my wife and son yesterday evening if they felt the same, they both agreed they struggle too.
I did a Google search this morning for entrepeneurs and again these people's thought patterns and creativity is staggering.
They seem to be able to solve problems easily, think outside the box, have great ideas daily and make money at the drop of a hat
Now the big question is are people born with this skill or can you develop it.?
If you can develop it how do you do it, read more, study Psychology to change thought paterns, stand on your head- I would love to know
What I do know is if it was possible to bottle Creativity up, I could make a good living off the sales.
Would love to hear peoples thoughts on this subject.

Hello Rick, welcome to our community.
I believe we are all born creators but not all of us activate our creativity or we may choose not to develop it (for a thousand reasons).
I agree with Bill (wrs) - he has given you very sound advice.
If it makes you feel good to observe the creativity of others, then that can be a source of inspiration for you. However, if it makes you think 'I'm not that creative' or "I'll never be that creative" - then stop such comparisons. Instead...
Focus on what you are learning, where you are going and you will get there in your own unique way and others will be thinking how creative you are!

I think we all have some level of creativity with different ways of expressing it. What you have to do (here) to be successful, is to jump into the training and not worry about how creative others may be since you can't control that. What you can control is your ability to become an expert in your niche by connecting with your audience and providing on-point, interesting and informative information. Your ability to create quality content will grow with experience.
As you become an expert in your niche, you'll find you can provide solutions, think outside of the box and come up with great idea of your own.
Just my thoughts.
There are many ways to encourage creative thinking. I've seen a few. Visualisation is a good one, picturing something concrete in your imagination and exploring it, making changes to it. Creation is just bringing something non-existent into the real world and starts in your own mind. I made it sound so easy!
