Creativity presupposes the existence of some philosophical thoughts, and philosophy begins in wonder! It begins at a point when one starts thinking that he knows nothing much about anything. That opens up the mind and one's mind becomes ready or hungry to acquire every knowledge.
However, Mere acquisition of knowledge is not all. Knowledge without analysis and synthesis is of no use. There must be an element of creativity in it, or so to say, an element of building up something new out of the old in it. It is imagination that fuels creativity. With an imaginative mind one can process or analyze the knowledge and improve upon it. Oh! no, all this is too down to the earth and brief. All these we all of us know.
Let us have a nice journey to the bottom of this aspect. Actually the very essence of philosophy lies in being able to keep one's thoughts and feelings very simple, very elementary. So one does not get mixed up, and proceed to solve the most complex puzzles of life in a step by step manner.
God has sent men to this world filled with an ability to understand the real truth lying at the bottom of every entity, event or happening. One's conscience is really the presence of God in him. One must never make a mistake to know His existence within him in the form of his conscience. The Almighty gives one everything he needs to lead a healthy life. Surely He gives all that is necessary for a person to live, otherwise how does one survive and carry on with his life and prosper even ?
But most of the times one grows impatient if the Almighty makes some delay in giving something to that someone. One is never satisfied with what one has got. Even after getting it he keeps on asking for more. Comfort or craving for it engulfs one. Even if one does not have enough of something, one must not blame Him for not giving enough. One must know that He has to look after every living being of this wonderful world.
Hidden within that scarce means or resource, that He has given us, lies a mine full of treasure. One must accept what is scarce gleefully, and he will get more in future. If one tries to grab bigger portions without being satisfied with what he has, one might have to lose the small portion that he today possesses. A sense of satisfaction must prevail at every stage. In abundance creativity loses much of its essence. Every grass root cannot grow up into a paddy plant. It will find it impossible to achieve. This impossibility is nothing but natural.
However, one must keep his mind open to achieve and attain more. One must always be well prepared to toil for that. One must never think that something is very easily achievable. This makes one less and less creative. If creativity dies then all laughter, joy and merriment also vanishes. There must always be some unfulfilled areas in one's life, some scarcity, so to say. Some areas must be dark. One must preserve those unfulfilled areas, those scarcities, with utmost care. Else hunger for knowledge, imagination, creativity, laughter, joy and happiness will vanish.
Scarcity gives birth to and also nourishes one's creative aspects, which in turn keeps life flowing. To put it in a more easy way one can say that necessity is the mother of all inventions, which in turn brings prosperity through creativity.
