Do you think that you are creative in your thinking or more like wishful thinking?

Question

Is there a difference?

Answer 1

yes my sweet

i think creative thinking is more productive

and wishful thinking is just a little provoking :)

Answer 2

hmm.. the difference if you meant that creative thinking is more than just sticking to one's self-centered thoughts, I think I'm both. it would depend on the situation.. often times I start on situations with wishful thinking especially if it's beyond my comfort zone. but usually I end up being realistic and more caring to others. so I'd say I'm more on creative thinking.

Answer 3

How I wish I was Twenty Years, younger, because I have always been a Person that is very creative, I remember when before I retired for the night, back then I would start being creative in my thoughts as to how I was going to make my dress for my daughter's upcoming Wedding, and come Morning I would make a be-line to my sewing Machine and start sewing, and I had always been like that, but when I became Ill about five Months ago my enery has gone down the drain, and I find myself being angry at myself, since I cannot function like I used too.

But I am not a wishful thinker, since I find ways to finish any task I started. I am a creative Person, when I get an idea in my Head I make sure I do it, or my name isn't, Ana.

Answer 4

ya know, i always try to value myself as a creative thinker... and had you asked either one of those questions separately, that's what i would have said... but, now that i'm really forced to consider it, i think i have to admit that I'm really just a wishful-thinker in denial... maybe with side of creativity (well, i wish).   : )

Answer 5

Just like in the movie, "Field of Dreams", I think if I build it in my mind, I can make it happen.

Answer 6

I know my thoughts become my reality. I can't tell the difference. I wanted a really free life so I focused on my freedom & I am really free. So my thoughts created my reality & I am willing to dream/wish for what I want. I am a very content person so I don't have any goals. I just enjoy the moment I am in.

Answer 7

ummm......huh?

Answer 8

I am more creative. in my opinion, creativity takes some effort and work , while wishful thinking is more like dreaming, and  does not make things happen unless you work towards it. wishful thinking can be good if you work for it.

Answer 9

I think there is a difference yes, our ordinary thinking can still be creative and imaginative, as well as our wishful thinking. The difference is that wishful thinking is more like fantasy only and therefore doesn't really portray "real thinking". To think without wishful thinking can still be exciting, but slightly more real, however, they are quite similar though...

Answer 10

Hi Rena!  I am a creative thinker....being a writer, teacher & also an artist I have to be....and yes, I think there is a difference in creative & wishful thinking.  I'm forever "wishing" for something to happen or that I can do something or be somewhere, etc....BUT wishing doesn't make it happen.  Thinking creatively is the first step in making something happen, but of course it has to be acted on...positive thinking has a lot to do with the creative process too, I think.  Good question, my friend.
