Are You A Clone of A Clone?

Today creativity is being lost in itself. Yes, we spend so much time trying to copy that very "creative" person that we loose our own identity. The truth is, you wearing Aztec prints and blocking colours doesn't mean you are creative, it is the fact that you have been able to bring out your true personality(or in this case style) in a way people have never seen before. In a world were there is a lot of craziness, creativity is key. What makes you different from the next person wearing her top back to front? Yes that's crazy but is it creative? It may have been creative when the first person who thought about it wore it out, but when a thousand more people joined the trend, the uniqueness was gone. It is time we think out of the box that's outside of the box and look beyond the craziness. Find that comfort zone of yours, that thing that best fits you, that people may call boring. Find it and re-package it in a way people have never seen it before because, in this very dynamic world creativity consists of only two things: Inspiration from God and repackaging. The truth is we spend a lot of money on repackaged goods, the first dress was black with short sleeves, the next dress was black but with long sleeves, oh and yes the third dress is a must have, black but with no sleeves! You see the same dress has been repackaged into three different dresses and we keep buying these repackaged goods which we call "a fresh and new design". The same goes for gadgets, applications, phones, laptops, name it! everything is repackaged and we are always keen to buy the latest version of the "new"(A.k.A repackaged) application. So what I'm trying to say is that, we need to stay true to ourselves, find what fits  us best and just  apply creativity in repackaging. Think out of the box that's outside the box! God will guide you as you do so :). I appreciate comments :)
