You can bring out the creative genius within you. You have the power to do it. But to got there, you must change how you see the world around you. If your goal is to get a better result, then you must take care of your thinking. Why is that? Because if the thinking is right, the result will take care of itself.
So to cultivate a creative life, according to Carrie Bloomston, 'Be disruptive of your creative process and your life and you will find a wellspring of riches and freedom. Step outside the normal. Step outside the expected to find your creative self. Be curious.''Creativity is about being yourself. If you want to change anything in your life, in your career, in your relationships, do not be afraid to do it. Because if you do not act, the situation is not going to change by itself. If you want to change, yes, it is difficult, but you go ahead and do it.
Remember, according to Carrie, 'Everything you create is a self-portrait.'' So why not create yourself? Why not change yourself?
Do not ignore the wonderful things in your life, and around you. In his book Unlearn: 101 Simple Truths for a Better Life, Humble The Poet writes,'We tend to sabotage our happiness by ignoring the wonderful things in our life.''You have a lot in your life to be grateful for. Instead of beating yourself up over what you do not have, why not focus on what you? Instead of fear, why not faith? Instead of doubt, why not courage?
Instead of procrastination, why not action? And instead of fear, why not creativity? Remember, you get what you focus on. If you want your creative muscles to grow, then focus on cultivating a creative life. And you do that by doing creative things.
To be authentic, you need to be able to stand up for yourself, for your life, for your relationships,
and for your future. If you are not for yourself, then you are against yourself.
If you want to be yourself, your real self, then practice the following strategies every day.
Always tell yourself the truth. In his book Authentic: How to be Yourself And Why it Matters,
Stephen Joseph writes, 'To be authentic, we need to be able to face up to the truth
about ourselves, no matter how unpleasant we might find it.'' If you respect yourself, others will
respect you. If you are not true to yourself, if you are not being honest with yourself,
you are not deceiving other people; you are deceiving yourself. And it is not good for your
growth and development. Because you can't help yourself. So if you want to move forward
in your life, be an authentic person, no matter what.
Always take responsibility for your life. It is your life. You can do whatever you want with it.
That includes taking responsibility for your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions. When it comes to you,
you are responsible for everything in your life. In the words of Stephen Joseph, 'Authentic people
take resposibility for for their choices in life.'' If you want to be successful, you must be the boss
of your life. If not, you will find it difficult to express your real self.
Do not follow the crowd. If you want to be different, you must do things differently. If you want
a different result, you must think differently. To do that, you must be able to stand on your own.
You must be able to live with yourself. Do not try to fit in. Instead of trying to fit in, why not try to fit out?
To quote Stephen, 'Authenticity requires you to be able to overcome our desires to fit in and be
part of the crowd.'' If you want to grow, don't work to be like other people, work to be like yourself.
Because you can never be like another person. So trying to do it is a total waste of your time.
Always pay attention to how you feel about yourself. In her book Now Go Out There and get curious, Mary Karr writes, 'Don't make the mistake of comparing your twisted-up insides to people's blow-dried outsides.'' That is what you should always do. Do not worry about what others are posting on
their social media accounts. Focus on your own life. Focus on how you want to achieve your dreams.
That is more important than comparing yourself to other people. Accodring to Stephen, 'Authenticity
requires that we are aware of what's going on in our bodies; that we are not only attentive to our
feelings and mindful of our thinking but to all that is happening within us.'' Do not ignore your internal self,
no matter what.
