Creativity can make a much more  fulfilled life.  Creativity makes life have more  meaning and more to live for. Creativity is rich, exciting and fun.

 Being creative on a daily basis is a mind set.  It is how we look at what we are doing each day. So even when life seems to get in the way or when it becomes so busy that it is hard to breathe creativity can still be achieved.
