50 Advantages of creativity

50 Advantages of creativity:

Firstly, I would like to give my definition of creativity:
Everyone has their own definition but this is the one that has been most practical to me over the years.

Creativity is firstly the process of forming new connections, associations or relationships between ideas, objects and people. So you can make original, relevant and interesting results for yourself and others.
Secondly, creativity is about re-purposing: To take something originally intended for one purpose and find a new use for it. You can re-purpose objects, content, old ideas, situations and even yourself.
So you could say that connections are about multiple ingredients and re-purposing is about singular things used in a different context.
( New Connections OR New Context = creativity).
