Sharon Domine, M.S. Ed, posted the following about creativity which inspired me. I would definitely believe that these characteristics are crucial for becoming creative.
1. Confidence – the ability to question without fear.
2. Observation – seeing problems/ideas.
3. Humility – knowing you don’t know everything.
4. Mindfulness – thinking on how to think.
5. Curiosity – exploring and experimenting.
6. Resourcefulness – something to tinker with.
7. Energy – to explore and tinker.
8. Action – not just thinking, but doing.
