You must start creating. Right now! It is possible that if we don’t create now, our ideas may give a mighty sigh and go play with someone else. But even if you don’t buy into that belief, it’s certainly true that if you don’t birth your idea, it’s not happening.

More specifically, creativity is one of the character strengths, along with curiosity, judgment, love of learning and perspective, which define the virtue of wisdom and knowledge. All of these are cognitive strengths which entail acquiring and applying knowledge.
