I believe and was taught that creativity is a habit, not something you can just acquire nor something that just happens to pop up in your head.

What do you guys think creativity is a product of? Genes, habit, stroke of luck, destiny... (Destiny...*chuckle* :coco:)

As Aristotle puts it, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
