I suppose I was laconic with this article. I feel I am often laconic
when talking about my self or my work. Not sure why.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
Where does this creative spark come from? How do fevers in the human brain
produce the dreams and visions that became transformed into blazes of insight?
Why do our brains yearn for beauty and truth, as if they are all we know on Earth,
and all we need to know? Why are some human beings so highly creative that we
recognize them as true geniuses? Can those of us that are less creative enhance this
innate human creative creative capacity in ourselves and others? And can we instill it
in our children and in future generations? These are the grand questions about creativity.
It is not my goal to be a your guide in trying to answer them. I will just formulate my
definition of creativity that I have used in my years of research, which I still find reasonable
today:
-One essential component of creativity is Originality. Creativity involves perceiving new relationships, ways of observing, ways of portraying. These novel relationships might be
found in nature and expressed in new natural laws, or expressed in a product such as a novel or a poem. Creativity is not limited to particular domains such as the arts. Creativity in the
sciences is also a fascinating topic.
- A second component of creativity is Utility, very broadly defined. For example, it is possible
to conceive something novel – such as a car without wheels – that has no creative value at all.
The concept of utility must be broadly defined, however, because creativity in arts is not always obviously useful. Its utility resides primarily in its ability to evoke resonant emotions in others, to inspire, or to create a sense of awe at what the human mind / brain can achieve.
- A final component of creativity is that it must lead to a Product of some kind. That is,
Creativity requires the Creation of something .It may be helpful to think of creativity as
comprised of three components. It begins with a Person. That person the3n addresses a problem or seeks out a good question or conceives a new way of perceiving or conceptualizing, using a creative cognitive Process. How this process occurs is a fascinating
topic in cognitive neuroscience. When the process is complete – the problem is solved, the question is answered, the work finished – is the Product. Person, process, product… These
components may occur linearly, iteratively, or simply mysteriously.

Asking about how the individual human brain moves through a creative process to produce a sonnet or a song or an equation is one of the most fascinating questions that we can contemplate. To answer it is to explain how we human beings, beginning with those early hunched and hairy prehistoric ancestors, have managed to wrestle ourselves out of dark caves and into a world ablaze with the brilliant fire and light of creative genius.
Thinking differently is another modern story with some practical impacts that can add value to any
individual who perceives that' Creativity' means breaking free of the herd in order to be less like someone else and more like yourself.
Tara, – Are you pursuing this line of thought in your personal development as web designer,innerpreneur +
all the extra bonuses? If so, then creativity can be treated as the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules,
patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations,etc.
