Life is full of peaks and valleys

One second - floating in the sky

The next second - hit rock bottom

Happiness - What does it mean?

CREATIVITY

Our Government spend millions and millions of money on the creative industries to make it work. But throwing resources in without answering the most fundamental question, "What is CREATIVITY?", does bothers me as we are simply beating around the bush.

To me, I find it hard to capture the little twirls of creativity that is simply floating in the air. It is not obvious and it is hard to catch.

If there is a location to look for it, I think it is at the heartlands and bustling streets with people gathering from all walks of life, interacting and coming to play. A walk into life like this is far more effective at catching creativity rather than sitting at the Starbucks, cracking my head, looking for inspiration over a cup of expensive coffee. I like the atmosphere best when there is a festival that is ongoing. The buzzing, vibrant energy springing to and fro in the air, just rubs it off me.
It is just pure energising and absolutely refreshing. It seems like a lot of creative elements can be unlock from the shackles and release into the air. Sounds a lot like endorphines being released into the body when one takes in chocolate. Makes a person gooey and relax, and, AH-HA, creative elements just come knocking the door of your brains.
Don't reject or resist.
It might just change your life forever.
A tipping point.
Just capture it, focus and enlarge.
Creativity comes when your consciousness is dormant and unconsciousness is active.
