THE PATHWAYS TO CREATIVITY
"There is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding"*
CREATIVITY: ABILITY TO ENGAGE IN AN ACTIVITY in order to CREATE!
What is creativity? Creativity, I will simply say is the ability to create or produce something new; it’s that which a man possesses which makes him engage in activity that produces new dimension of awareness or reality. Creativity is the result of Inspiration or a higher consciousness of being. This article will take a brief look at how creative thoughts or ideas are formed or obtained.
(a)Thoughts: Your thought stream is a principal pathway to creative ideas. The human mind is the seat of thoughts, and countless thoughts pass thought the human mind every second. The mind is a very potent tool and when trained well to engage actively in creative ideas can generate useful and creative ideas. Great thoughts are products of great thinking; great inventors have been known to have personal thinking rooms.
(b)Dreams: The subject of dreams is of much controversy in different circles yet it is a common avenue through which great ideas have been known to have sprung from. I will not go into theories or works of psychologists like Sigmund Freud here.
In 1861 August Kekule woke from his sleep, and he came up with the structure of the Benzene Molecule the way he had seen it in his dream like a snake eating its tail. As much as dream is a pathway to creative ideas, it is not a must to stay asleep for hours to receive creative ideas.
A Pharaoh in Egypt saw in his dreams an imminent famine and this guided his decision to put in place the first grain storage system the world has ever known through the help of a Jewish youth who interpreted the dreams who was instantly promoted to the post of the Prime Minister of the then world power
(c)Silence: Most creative thoughts are brewed in silent moments. Listening to the voice of silence can reveal it to you. Being quiet in your heart can pave way for the next creative ideas it is clearly obvious that we perform less under much noise and confusion neither can we seem to fathom out any useful idea when we are troubled within us. Calmness and tranquility within us put us in a very good stead for conceiving more refined ideas.
(d)Meditation: Meditating or pondering on an issue can be another pathway to birthing a more useful idea, your subconscious mind could process and relate productive thoughts at this particular time as you reflect on an issue. As you spend more time pondering on a particular subject, you begin to see it from a new perspective and you are open to more ideas on the same issue.
(e)Ambience: The environment you find yourself affects how you come to terms with your creativity. Have you ever wondered why multinationals and other big organizations take into cognizance their environment? They know how it affects their productivity and how it also makes it easy for their employees to be more creative. Spending time to create a more aesthetic environment around you will go a long way to affect how receptive you are to new ideas.
(f) Self awareness: Discovery always precedes recovery; constantly evaluating yourself makes you more aware of happenings around you as they relate to you. You consciously and regularly discover who you are. Your eyes are opened to your strengths and your weaknesses. And you gain new insights to how you can come up with the best ideas in the same situation.
(g)The Spirit of God: This is the most important source or pathway of creativity. In actual fact all the other pathways are subject to this. This Spirit is the main drive behind the creation of the Universe itself, and He is the one that triggers the creative nature within us. When we are in touch with Him He takes us to the unusual frequency where creativity resides. Access to Him activates the other pathways of creativity.
Keep achieving Greatness!

Personal Reflection: The Subject Of Creativity
Keyword : "CREATE: [kree-eyt] verb, to cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve or that is not made by ordinary processes” source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/create
In the first chapter of the book of creation -Genesis*, God created all things on different days of the week, but he made man on the sixth day! So I became inspired in my spirit man that the number six can be associated with creation. And the focus on this month is on the Subject of Creativity. I believe The Holy Spirit is The Spirit of creativity.
In this month of June, which happens to be the sixth month of the year, we will be reflecting more on the subject of creativity. Man himself was created on the sixth day
A coincidence? Well,talking about creativity it might be defined in different areas and from diverse perspectives.
Creativity for you could be making a new product, honing your skills or taking your talents to a new dimension, it is not all about creating something new alone but rather it could mean, improving on the existing form It could be spicing up a romantic relationship, bringing more value to the table, looking into issues from a different perspective or solving the same problem with a different approach
Perhaps this might be the time to do something new with the usual or doing the usual in a new way.
Whichever way, let's spark up the creativity flame from here. From preparing the same meal with a different recipe to proposing a new idea to solve an existing problem
Your thoughts and comments will be appreciated on this, you never know how valuable and constructive your criticisms can be since it comes from the creative YOU.
Your creative friend,

DANA PLANE MISHAP : SOLACE AND CONDOLENCE FROM THE WEAVER
This photo of Solace Retreat is courtesy of TripAdvisor
"It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light." -Taylor BensonMy heart goes out to all the families and friends of those who were involved in the sad event of the DANA airline plane crash which took place last week in Lagos,and nobody knows exactly how hurt you feel except the Lord,He's with us even in the storm...I have however attached below, verses of a poem from a faith-based magazine which I find comforting at a time like this:. The story is told of a preacher who would visit the homes of families who were going through tragedy or trial. He would show them a woven silk bookmark with tangled threads running in all directions. It had no discernible pattern, and the colors were all jumbled up. After a while, he would turn the bookmark over and show them that what they had been looking at was the back side; the front revealed a beautiful design with the words "GOD IS LOVE!"
THE WEAVER
My life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me.
I cannot choose the colors,
He weaves so steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrow
And I in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper,
And I the underside.
Not till the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Will God roll back the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver's skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
--B.M. Franklin
May the good Lord grant you all the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss,may you find solace in the knowledge that they have departed to a better place than where we presently are. SHALOM..
