Creation is an innate need, the main condition of life balance. You can’t just live. It’s boring without creativity. Over time, the routine can completely absorb. You definitely need a creative approach to everything. Freedom of self-expression manifests itself in the relation to the world, in the ability to create. It gives wings behind your back, motivation, inspiration.

From the point of view of history, man is a creator. He himself creates the necessary conditions for existence. The subject of creativity is not only an individual person, for example, a photographer, artist, musician, poet, but all of humanity. The object of creation is real fragments of being and the whole world as a whole.

The results of creativity are always embodied in a form of a sign. These are works of art, inventions, photography, installations, music, pedagogy, sports, everyday things, social, play and much more.

Knowledge and skills are not the main thing in human creativity. This is just an area of the subconscious. Mastering occurs due to quick logic, mind. To think creatively is to intuitively perceive images and give them life in the human world.

There is no point in driving yourself into a cage. Loving yourself is a criterion for healthy egoism. And this means you need to find something to your liking. Life is impossible without creativity. At first, not everything may work out. But, gradually the quantity develops into quality. The main thing is to allow yourself to be a creator of your own life.
