"Creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives . . . most of the things that are interesting, important, and human are the results of creativity . . . when we are involved in it, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life."

One of the things that makes us unique as human beings is our creativity. We have a desire to create something beyond ourselves — to leave something of ourselves behind. I have often thought that if I could not write, could not express myself creatively, that I would be very depressed and may even die. I am happiest when I am in the midst of creating something — whether that be a story, a poem or a speech. When I am creating the ideas flow through me and I struggle to capture them all. Some slip through my fingers like water. Others are planted in the soil of my mind and take root. When are you happiest?
