Being creative is not just about being artistic, it is not just about creation of things and/or ideas, but it is also about imagination and innovation. Imagination is the only limit, but on the other hand, we all know that our imaginations have no limit. Ironic, right? 

Each and everyone of us is creative in our own special ways and we might not think of it as that, we may not feel like it, but we truly are. So here are some things to remember for us to stay creative in our own ways:

1. Think outside the box. Take this simple test to know how creative your mind works: You can see nine dots in the picture. Your goal is to connect all nine dots using only four lines, without disarranging the position of the dots.

When you look at it, you might think that it's very impossible to connect all dots with just four lines, but when you think outside the box...

Many people tend to not see the bigger picture and just settle for what was served to them, which is not a very good thing. You need to look beyond and see all sides and angles. When you start to view things differently and see all the possibilities, then you will notice how your life will change. Your ideas will be the start of great and wonderful things, and until then, you will be living in a much colorful and creative life.
2. Do it.
Courage and confidence are also necessary to stay and be creative. Being brave, confident, and self-efficacious are the characters of creative people. It is not about what people will think about you, it is about thinking what is better and what will help or benefit everyone. Don't just sit there and do nothing when you know you can do something about it. If you are not going to do it, then who will?

3. Enjoy and be happy!
You can never be creative when you do not enjoy what you are doing. Having fun while you work is like being productive without having to do anything. Doing your job without any effort is such a very nice thing to do. You will never feel like you are working if you love what you are doing and you are definitely happy about it. We can say that happiness comes with creativity, and vice versa. These two were like intertwined with each other and inseparable no matter what.
