Last night I attended a virtues based connection circle entitled "How are you, really?". During my sharing space I chose this virtue of creativity and reflected with the circle on how I felt disconnected from my previously reliable reservoir of creative thinking. In my virtues pick this morning, it has appeared again!! I actually thought, Oh come on!! What was inhibiting my access to the inspiration that enables me to solve problems in new and surprising ways? I realised that it could only be me. I then brought to mind a challenging situation that I have been having with my bank for the past couple of months. Wouldn't you know the thought came to me of how I can complete forms and provide the information they require in perhaps not the most conventional way. You see I was challenged in providing a proof of address for my temporary residence. I then remembered that I had made an online purchase and quoted the address and had the email receipt to confirm it. On it, as clear as day was my temporary address. And there you have it!! Creativity to the rescue of what had previously been a stalemate between me and my bank. I even began to appreciate how my bank takes this very rigid approach in safeguarding my identity and my accounts. This experience confirms for me that creativity lives with in me always, I just need to get out the way and let it work its magic.
