Humility is something I deal with a lot. Also, Self Confidence is a huge issue. They seem to fight each other though, making me go up and down.

But that's really not what this blog is about (again, maybe another blog) although those two things have come into play recently.

I've always seen myself as a really creative person (well, intellectual at least) and I always thought that crossed into creativeness. But recently I have been presented with situations/jobs where I'm supposed to start various things from scratch.

And I've been dumbfounded.

What to do? Where to start? What could things look like? This has always been a struggle for me but I have only just realised it.

And I don't like it.

I've got a lot of pride for being smart (which is bad I know) and I was bummed to think that my mind couldn't come up with anything.

So I thought back to all those times when I had done something 'creative' and then
everything clicked.

All those times someone has presented ideas or has started me off and I've run with it. I really don't have much of a creative bone but I have some great innovative skills.

I've been asked to make a website for some mates. From nothing, I end up with nothing, but when I've been presented with a basic version, I can break it down and slowly improve on it to make a whole new site.

And then things like 'people' games. See, I HATE Construction Games. You know those games where you're given a bunch of items and have to make something out of them? At the church I go to they have a fascination with them, and it drives me nuts. But the problem is, I'm fairly good at them. Once people start, I have to jump in even though I don't want to. It's my innovate, stupid brain.

Anyways, that was a rant and a half. Just something I've been working out about myself.

Yeah it was probably a self-righteous blog or something but anyways..

So, are you a Creative or an Innovative person??
