Today I’m going to post some inspirational quotes about creativity that resonate with me. But first, what is the definition of creativity? Dictionary.com defines the word as “the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, orignality, progressiveness, or imagination”.
I hope these quotes get your creative juices flowing!!!!

Hi Vickie, here’s one of my favourite quotes about creativity! Have a wonderful day. x
“Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition.
