CREATIVITY POWERS THE WORLD

by Maegan Peppe

I use to say I wasn’t a creative person. If someone would ask me to create something, it was my automatic response. This was tied to my fear of judgment, fear of rejection. I had put all of creativity in a box, one that I was not allowed to open up. But here’s the thing about creativity, it doesn’t just sit in a box; it ebbs and flows around each and every one of us. Creativity surrounds the CEOs of companies, it dances with innovators and people who want to make the world a better place. Now, I proudly say I am a creative person, and I hold my head up high while saying this as I have learned that creativity is the fuel that powers life. Creativity is the way to make a difference in the world.
