If there is actually something I have come to learn about this life, it is the fact that this journey will not always be easy and smooth sometimes. There are days we will face tough and difficult moments that might really affect us greatly. There are coupes of situations in my life that has made me believe that even in the midst of storms and difficult moments, I must still always find a way to keep going in life.
Most especially, crises always have a way of pointing out our vulnerabilities. Some of us will not know that we some certain weaknesses until we face some crises in life. In fact, there are some of us that it is those crises that will definitely push us to develop ourselves and leave our comfort zone. It is very important.
When it comes to my country Nigeria, we constantly face crises issues most especially looking at the economy state of my country, there are a whole lot of things that is stealing our joy and happiness. Looking at the political issue, the economic issue and even the societal issues, all these issues are daily causing crises to us beyond what we can even handle.
But there is something that I have learnt about Nigerians where I come from, no matter how the crises can be big, Nigerian will always have a way of scaling through and one of the ways we always overcome crises are through creativity. There is so much power in creativity, I have seen it several times and it actually works. On several occasions I have used creativity to overcome difficult moments in my life.
Somebody reading this post might be wondering, why is it that creativity is a tool for survival? But the truth is we sometimes underate the power of creativity. Take for example in the aspect of job opportunities. Due to the bad economy state of my country, it has made the unemployment crises to rise so high that we have a lot of graduates but few people who are employed. But guess what, through that crises, creativity has become a major tool that has been used to overcome.
What do I mean by that, through creativity, we have had lots of new businesses and companies that have created new job opportunities to many people and beyond. There is so much power in creativity. I strongly believe that the issue is most of the time we did not see it as a big thing, we just thought it is not something big. I have seen the power of creativity liberate people from huge debt and generally difficult moments in life. Until we start mastering it, we will not really see the Manifestation of it actually. Creativity have so much power beyond what we can ever imagine of.
