Who am I, and what have I done with myself?

Life is about change, and hopefully change for the better. However, it appears that there is a struggle in each of us to stay the same. The same old way we always have been. Why is it so hard for us to change if we know that in the end it will be better, if our lives will be more complete? I don't understand it, even in myself.
The battle of the mind, a difficult and hardy battle.

Creativity, and life.

Creativity is an esential part of life. When a man no longer can creatively live life in such a way to be driven by the creative winds - then he is dead to himself. It is often heard that there are two types of people in the world, the creative type, and the analytical type. The creative type being those that have artistic ability, and the ability to create works of manifest beauty from nothing more than a piece of charcoal and 50lb paper. The analytical type being those that can, and do enjoy making sense of large quantities of numbers. In my experience (namely that I can relate to both of those types of individuals) there is only one type of person: Creative. Life is all about creativity no matter what it is you do. When you have lost the ability to create, you have lost who you are.
