Sparking our Creativity

Albert Einstein said: "The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size." 

We frequently interchange creativity and innovation, not understanding what distinguishes them.  These are good definitions: 

-CREATIVITY is the act of  imagining something original. It is an experience. 
-INNOVATION is the implementation of something new. It is practical. 

We all have the ability to becoming more creative when we express ourselves creatively on a continuous basis.  

These are questions we can ask ourselves to spark our creativity:

-What could we LOOK AT, USE, MOVE ... or CONNECT in a new way?
- What could we CHANGE?
- What we could CREATE that is REALLY NEW?

This is a thoughtful quote by Henri Matisse (1869-1954), a very creative and innovative French artist:

“Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play.”
