People think that creativity is something you are born with or without. And yes, your genesis can help with this, but your environment makes the rules. If you are not creative or don't feel creative, you can change this in your life only by changing your habits.

A creative person is someone who can think outside the box. This person can create products and music, write, adapt something like ice cream to a milkshake, or even merge two things into a new one (like smartwatches).
Creative people usually have thousands of new ideas daily and don't have time to execute everything. These ideas come from their daily activities, what they read, learn, see, or hear about. Since there are many ideas, some can be very bad, and the bad ideas should be filtered, but one of the most unlikely ideas can result in incredible things; this is why it is so important to share ideas: other people can validate whether you are a genius or just spacing out.

Being creative can help you with many topics in life. You can make more money, solve things faster, save time, help people, and be happier (it's fun to have eureka moments).
Most people depend on other people, to learn something, to make something, to do a service, but if you are a creative person, you can quickly come to the solution in the blink of an eye.

As said above, creativity can be learned. Creativity is your neurons trying to connect with new neurons, but for this to happen, you need to be more exposed to new things to stimulate your brain. You can expose yourself by going to events, talking with people, doing things work related or not work related. Everything counts right here, you can read different books that you are habitual, travel to another place, join communities, contribute to other peoples projects, do sports in group. The more activities you do with other people, the more you will benefit from them; your brain will use all the different things to be the most creative possible.
You won't always feel creative, even if you are, so try to share your ideas with other people, don't be shy about your ideas, don't be scared to get it robbed, and idea just has value after being executed, and people doesn't even time to execute their own ideas, much less others ideas.
If you are close to other creative people, you will benefit from getting more ideas from them and learning how they think and how they organize to execute their ideas.

I hope you can have more ideas and organize your thoughts better in the future. If you want to discuss about creativity, your ideas, or any other topic, feel free to DM me on Twitter/X and I will be happy to talk with you.
