A life filled with growth and change requires a conscious effort to think creatively, it takes practice. To develop creativeness, the mind needs to be exercised as well as filled with materials out of which ideas can be formed. To me, creativity is the ability to see a situation in many ways and to continue to question until satisfaction is reached. The creative process can involve tiny creative leaps or giant breakthroughs in thinking. Both require that an individual go beyond where she has gone before, embracing the unknown, the mysterious, the change, the puzzling, without fear.
Creativity involves risk-taking.
Whether it is a small risk or a huge risk, it takes courage to take a risk and be creative. Creative potential is the ability to respond constructively and in non-habitual ways to change and stress.

For example, Sybilla Masters invented machinery that would produce a better and finer quality flour.
