Creative

Number six on the list is creative. I'm not sure if more is being written on the subject right now, or if I just see the subject more. Either way, the subject of creativity has been at the center of my thoughts for a few months now. I use these words in the broader context such as people who think and then develop products, services, or actions based on those thoughts. Most of my friends work in a creative job that requires thought, development, implementation of something that does not already exist. The same concept can be applied to life - thinking about where we are, deciding where we want to go and developing a method to get there.

In 2009, I am more receptive to the term creative. I realize that I am part of the creative class and what I have is a result of what I have created (good and bad). I am creating more of what makes me happy, less of what makes me unhappy, and a professional and personal direction that reflects who I am.

Do you consider yourself to be creative? Are you creating what you want or what you don't want?
