Approaching Problems Creatively

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....
In each of our lives, we sometimes face problems that seem like they are insurmountable, and while these problems might come at us from any of a number of areas - ranging from problems at work to problems in finances to problems in our family or relationships - there is still one common thread in the best way to conquer these problems, and that thread is creativity. Many people will read that and automatically assume that this is not talking to them, as they have always seen their own self as someone who is "not creative," but when you begin to examine the underlying themes of creativity, you will begin to realize that every single person has a measure of creativity inside them!

Recent studies have uncovered the fact that children under the age of five are likely to have ideas that could be classified as "original" 90 percent of the time; by the time these children reach the age of seven, this number drops to 50 percent, and by the time these studies took a look at adults, they found that less than 2 percent of ideas adults had could be classified as "original." A big reason why this is the case is because children are usually trained - as they get older - to temper their dreams and expectations to a level that is "practical" or "reasonable," rather than allowing them to truly aim high and see what happens.

It can take a while to change your course of thinking so that you reach a point where you no longer see things as impossible, but instead begin to approach problems from a creative point of view, but the first step in changing your course in this manner is to no longer look at a problem and see that something cannot be done, but to instead look at a problem and ask yourself, "How can it be done?" You will begin to see that creative solutions start to come your way when you ask this question - and even though not all of them will work out in the long run, you will eventually land on something that does work, and your problems will start to look a whole lot less daunting as you get more and more used to asking, "How can it be done?"
