10B: The Creative Life

I believe that everyone has some sort of sense of creativity inside them, whether it being artistically, your actions, you ability to so something or through sports, those are just a couple of ways people can be seen creative. Before learning all about it, I thought that being creative just meant having a lot of ideas in your head and using them to do something specific. But there is more to it, and there may be factors toward your creativity.

For example, some people may have a "muse" in their life. Muse is defined as:
a. A guiding spiritb. A source of inspiration.

#21/22 I believe my muse would be either my mother or my grandmother. Although my grandmother passed away 6 years ago, she is one of my greatest inspirations and I want to live just like she did. She always was helping people and was a very caring person, loved her family and friends and would do anything for them. She taught me many things that I will carry with me throughout my life, some being thoughtfulness, ambition and how to be a caring person. Along with her, my mother is also another inspiration toward me because she is my role model and will always look out for me no matter what, and is just a very loving person. I think that all people should have a 'muse' and that they could very well be related to how you are as a person, how you think and how you act.

Mastery was a topic we've talked about in class and read readings about, how people view it, what mastery is, and how long it actually takes to 'master' something. I believe that the idea of mastery is to believe that you can do something, put your beliefs to the test, and see a result, whether being good or bad. I believe that with hard work and dedication, you can master something. Also, I think that creativity could have something to do with mastery. If you're more creative, then you have a lot more ideas, and think beyond your normal capacity, which could help you master things easily.
