For example, let's say you're looking at a painting. Of course, most people would see the painting and think about its appearance. But if you're creative, you might think about the story behind the painting or the emotions it evokes.

If you're the type of person who is always asking questions, then you're probably quite creative. Why? Because questioning the status quo is a key ingredient of creativity.

If you find yourself drawn to other creatives, then that is a good sign that you have creative potential. This is because creativity is contagious. When you surround yourself with other creatives, it helps to stimulate your own creativity.
So, if you're always seeking out the company of other creatives, it's a good indication that you can be creative yourself.
Attracting other creatives isn't the only way to stir up your own creativity. You can also attend art galleries, listen to music, or read books. Anything that helps you appreciate the arts will also help you develop your creative abilities. Someone like Michael Treco, who exhibits art from everyday things, is a good example of people you should surround yourself with.

If you're not afraid of failure, then that is another good sign that you have creative potential. Because creativity and innovation often involve taking risks. And if you're not afraid to fail, then you're more likely to take the necessary risks to be creative.
Of course, this doesn't mean that you should go out and start failing on purpose. But it does mean that you should be open to new experiences and not be afraid to experiment.
In conclusion, if you have any or all of these five signs, then it's a good indication that you have the ability to be creative. So, go out and start being creative! Use your imagination and come up with something new and exciting. Who knows, you may just surprise yourself with what you're capable of.
