Finding Your Creativity

Finding our creativity is within our grasp. Nowadays, this is much easier than it used to be. We live in a digital world and have an endless array of things to think about and discover. If we are resourceful and inquisitive, we can soon learn a great deal about how to achieve our most important goals.

My dream is to share what I know and what has worked for me. I strongly believe that we poses UNIQUE abilities and are capable of finding our own creativity that lies within us. There are various ingredients that can help you become a creative genius. This means using your time well and learning more every day. It means finding an activity that fascinates you and makes you want to work at it passionately. It also means letting spiritual values touch your life because, beyond all of your goals and achievements, true success lies in finding meaning in your life.

Remember Viktor Frankl words, “The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her life.

Are you contributor?

We can be contributor to our society in many ways. Have you ever stopped and thought what are you contributing to your community, society and the world? Our UNIQUENESS has special meaning and we all possess the special quality which we can share with the world.

I believe that the impulse to give and share lies at the heart of artistic creativity. We do not create merely to please ourselves. We do it in large part because we want to touch the lives of others with what’s best inside of us. We have learned and loved and sometimes suffered, and we make art that draws on these experiences in some way and expresses them for others to feel. But art is only one way of making a meaningful contribution to our world.

Each of us has many other things to give, such as time, money, the sharing of our resources and information, our possessions, and much more. The point is not to give because you expect to receive something of value in return. An excellent movie called “Pay It Forward,

Creativity: Sharing and Giving to the world

Although we rarely think about it, we are surrounded by benefits from what others have given us. Every day we use so many things like roads, bridges, parks, and many more that we didn’t ourselves create and yet take for granted. These are the products of others’ creative genius and the desire of past generations to make the world a better place.

In a similar way, we use many resources of mother earth that were simply handed to us. Isn’t it high time to think about such blessings? And then to ask ourselves why can’t we leave something special behind that would benefit others? Our good deeds and our love for one another will have a positive effect. Each of us can do our little part to create a better world, one deed at a time.

Sharing isn’t restricted to just monetary sharing but of knowledge, time, resources, information, talents and many other things that one can share with the world. There are many needy people who can use your expertise and talents. Many organizations provide safe heaven for these people and many are hungry for knowledge.

Creativity: Value of Journaling

Most people don’t realize the value of keeping a journal where they take notes about things they learned and where they learned them. Such a journal can be a great resource when you need to look back on information that piqued your curiosity. It’s also a perfect way to focus on your plans. As you write, you will think and rethink, and your ideas become clearer as you try to articulate them. And if you keep making journal entries over the long run, your language skills will improve as well. This is true of anything we do—the more we practice it, the more proficient we become. Finally, for me personally, there’s still another benefit to keeping a journal: it makes me sit in a quiet place with my own thoughts. Even when I am in front of my computer typing my reflections into this book, I feel a special satisfaction and peace.

Another way you can feel more full filled is to make your TO DA list. The one which we know is TO DO list where you are writing down what you need to do or accomplish. However, for, TO DA list, write down what have completed or accomplished. Every now and then I make my TO DA list. In fact, my recent trip to the east coast, I had many things planned and I did them one by one. When I was back home, I just made my list and felt satisfied and accomplished. This is a great feeling to have. It helps certainly with not only your psyche but creativity too. Try it out and you will be happy to look at it. We do tend to forget about things very quickly.

Are you Curious?

Being inquisitive and curious are skills that we need to develop if we want to become creative geniuses. We should continuously strive to gain more knowledge about the world around us and particularly about those activities which interest us the most. This requires very little effort on our parts. All we need, really, is to allow our curiosity to roam freely. We should ask questions of those who are experienced at what we want do: How did you learn this? Where should I begin? If we show genuine interest, people are almost always happy to share detailed information.

As you can see from my earlier tips, I believe that reading is one of the best habits to cultivate. Reading brings us information from experts without costing much. The habit of reading is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves. I received that gift from my parents and have passed it onto my children. They are both voracious readers like my husband. Another such gift is learning how to use computers. If no one in your family and friends can teach you, you can take a basic course for adults that will open doors to all the information on the internet. Such courses are offered at most colleges for little cost or for free in local libraries. Basic instruction on computers and other new technologies is also available at Apple stores and similar commercial outlets. All you have to do is look around, be inquisitive, and find out what will work best for you.

Are you resourceful and inquisitive?

Today, we can easily find a treasure trove of valuable resources on any subject on the internet. Or we can go to libraries to do our research. Library cards are free in most communities, and librarians are there to help you find the materials you need and to answer questions about how you might deepen your research. And don’t forget to brainstorm with family and friends; you may be surprised at how much some of them can guide you about any new challenge you want to undertake.

A more formal approach to learning a new subject or developing a new skill involves attending community or adult school. Such schools tend to offer low-cost courses on everything from playing bridge and tennis to managing personal finances to painting and fiction writing and photography and other forms of art. I loved taking all sorts of community college courses: some were as short as one week, others lasted a full semester.

Over the years, I kept watching the college catalog to find classes that intrigued me and were offered at convenient times. Nowadays, taking courses online has become an even more convenient way to gather information and to learn new skills. Hundreds of colleges and universities have full-fledged online programs in many fields, enabling you to learn at your own pace from the comfort of your own home.

Connect with connector

We all know who is the connector right? Our soul. It is connected to the universe-the super being.

I have been enjoying Oprah’s life classes. You can go to her network and watch the past episodes. They have lots of valuable information.

Once we understand that we have a soul as well as a body, and then we have come half way. The next steps lie in understanding why we are here and what our purpose is in life. Is the purpose of our being higher than we think? Meditating on such questions clears our minds and helps us focus on what we want achieve. Are we truly dedicated to becoming a creative genius? Are we really working at it? If not, what obstacles stand in our way? Can these be overcome?
