The concept of creativity is the attribute that separates the human race from every other form of life on the face the Earth. Creativity is the godliness factor that connects us to the creator. Creativity is mankind's greatest asset for many reasons but one particular benefit of our creativity is that it allows us to improve and advance the quality of our life.

Consequently this is a foundational premise in Jesus Christs statement in the Gospel of John, chapter 14 and verse number 12, "and greater works than these shall he do." Creativity is our greatest asset because it allows us to dream, to plan, to develop a vision and imagination concerning our mission, purpose and destiny in life. Because of creativity our lives have meaning and we can actively participate on a physical and spiritual level in terms of how we engage life. Creativity is how we impact the world we live in.

As human beings we have the ability to think, speak and form the intangible thoughts in our mind into tangible objects. We can formulate mental energy into words and words into things. The power of creativity is that it is neutral we can create negative, positive, good, evil, right or wrong. Creativity is our greatest asset when we control it and use it to benefit humanity socially from a local to global level.

Creativity allows man to have dominion over all other created beings and through our ability to create we can harness the abilities of any creature to improve our own existence. For example, man once watched the birds fly and soar in sheer amazement. However at some point man begin to think, dream and imagine himself flying. As a result we can literally travel to any destination in the world within twenty-four hours. Man's creativity allows him to fly farther, longer and faster than the birds that gave him the idea.

The creativity of man has produced a life that is literally without limitations. If it can be perceived in the mind it can be achieved. Creativity has resulted in technological advances that have transformed the world into one small community. Cultural barriers are being broken down, understanding is being developed, more opportunities are forming, wealth is being redistributed, quality of life and access is improving and freedom is advancing all over the world. This can be attributed to man's creativity. 

The creator has given man the greatest asset the ability to create and we can see the benefits of this great gift through the ideas that have become reality in the past and the possibilities that are being discovered presently. The future is forcing us to elevate our minds, educate ourselves, become more aware and more involved with the world. Creativity is solving problems and helping us realize there are many solutions to problems and there are different ways to thrive and impact in the world we live in.

Creativity is man's greatest asset because it is how God works through people and it is the fuel that helps us realize we have unlimited potential within us. The level at which we use this ability can directly influence the quality of our life in every aspect of living.
