When it comes to making the best decisions, you matter. Your values matter. Your goals matter. And your future matters.
Make your decisions based on what you want to achieve for your life, not what other people want you to achieve for yourself.
Because you are here to live your life, to create your own world, to make a difference. And you can't get there by using other people's decisions to live your life, to do your work. That is not living, but existing.
Remember, you are not here to exist, you are here to live, to grow, to conquer yourself. To make your life happen, you must learn how to make better decisions.
If you do not know how to start, or where to start, you can start with these quotes from Dr. Rob Yeung, a business psychologist
Take care of your environment. ''Simply living or working in an untidy, chaotic, unstructured environment may hamper people's decision- making.'' Where you work represents who you are. If you think you can get away with an untidy environment, you are kidding yourself. Do not call it creativity. Call it lazivity.
Focus on what is important.
''Having more options actually bewilders and overwhelms us- it makes it harder for us to make any decsion at all.'' We have more than we want. But to get what you want, to make a better decision, you must know what you do not want. If not, you are going to be lost. When that happens, nothing gets done.
Go for a walk.'Simply going for a walk boosts creativity. Being outdoors also boosts creativity.' If you want to make a better decision, just go for a walk. You will feel better when you are back.
Creativity is about the process. It is about the fun. It is about getting out of your comfort zone. Creativity is about challenging yourself to think differently, to see things differently.
If you want to be creative, to bring out the best in you, you must first believe in yourself.
Be comfortable with yourself. Do not worry about making a mess. It is going to happen.
If you really mean busines, you can't avoid making a mess. It is part of the game.
To embrace your creative self, let us start with these quotes from Carrie Bloomston.
If you want to be more creative, do not worry about making a mess. In her book The Little Spark: 30 Ways to Ignite Your Creativity, Carrie Bloomston writes, 'Life is filled with opportunities, and if you are worrid about getting dirty or making a mess, either metaphorically or for real, then you will be limited in your possibilities.'When it comes to doing something new, something that you have not done before, you are going to make lots of mistakes. But that is okay. You can't avoid them. When you make mistakes, learn from them. Use your mistakes to make good decisions. It is important. Why? Because you are not going to grow, you are not going to be creative if you are scared of making mistakes. Remember, without mistakes, there can be no progress.
To embrace your creative self, do not focus on being perfect. If you do, it is going to cripple your dreams. It is a dream killer. Do not focus on being perfect. Focus on getting it done. Focus on getting better. The reward is not the destination, the reward is the process. So if you want to grow your creative muscles, you must focus on getting better, not getting perfect. To quote Carrie, 'Perfectionism is the enemy of the creative art.'
And to embrace your creative life, according to Carrie, 'You must disrupt your normal patterns so you can see the world with new eyes.'' That is true. If you want something to change, you must change how you look at it.
And that is creativity- looking at things differently.
