What a great headline! :)
Well done you for being conscious of your fears and tendencies and actively working on overcoming them. That makes you a very good (and creative) human being!
Creativity doesn't only exist is the artistic sense - we have a chance to create ourselves every day into the person we want to be.
Most people are unaware of their fears, habits, attitudes and so they simply react to them (and hurt others in the process) instead of using them to create something better.
