I personally define spirituality as a belief that an individual feels emotionally attached too and makes an effort to adjust their actions to go along with this belief. So for example, if someone feels very strongly about being in shape and they feel that by working out they are an all-around better person than if they were to not do this activity, I would define that as spirituality. The reason being is that this individual feels so strongly about being in shape that they contribute many of their outcomes to this belief.

Although I see spirituality and religion as very similar, I believe they differ from one another. I see religion as a more defined form of spirituality. As stated above, spirituality is very open and can be anything that a person has a strong personal, emotional belief towards. As for religion, I think that this strong emotional belief is focused on a God. Therefore, I believe someone could classify their religion as part of spirituality but they cannot classify their spirituality as part of religion unless it involves a God.

I personally define creativity as the process of coming up with an idea. The reason I defined creativity this way is because whenever we come up with an idea, we need to use some form of “creativity” to get there. For example, if I am trying to find a way to complete a task, I am “creating” an idea in my head to get from where I am to where I want to go. I personally see this “creating” process as a form of “creativity” because your mind is using its tools to think abstractly and come up with a solution.

I believe the source of creativity can come from anywhere. If I follow my definition from above, then creativity can come from anything that you get an idea from. An example of this can be if I am walking down the street and I see a cool looking building but I think it would look better red. In that situation, I am “creating” an idea that I gained from looking at a building by thinking abstractly that the building would look better red.
