Creative People

From Ilchi Lee’s book BEST 5 Handbook

Everyone is a creative person. Sometimes we give only musicians and actors and other “artistic types” credit for being creative. This is very unfortunate because creativity is a gift given to every human being, not just a talented few. In actuality, you are creating all the time, whether you know it or not.
It is wonderful to create beautiful paintings or inspiring poems, but true creativity is about creating something far more important than these. The most important thing you create is your life itself. It is critical that you empower yourself to create the life you want. Many people ignore their own creative genius in this regard, and turn over the creation of their lives to others. Instead of deliberately creating the life they would like to live, they simply follow the expectations of society, family, or some other influence.
