This is a quick early morning blog about unleashing your creativity in order to help manifest the things you want in your life. I've realized along my journey, I want fulfllment... not contentment. There are far too many people in todays time who have either lost hope in there future or are content being where they are though they dont feel fulfilled. Now do we know for sure we will ever be fully fulfilled, like the pursuit of happiness? There should always be a goal that we are working towards and looking forward to achieving. Is there ever a point where you stop and think, "y'know what, I've done enough"?
Well honestly, that is neither here nor there it's just how I decided to open the blog. The fact is creativity is the only way to living a life that doesnt involve being a life long corporate slave/robot working long hours and low pay to barely scrape by. Or living a life were financially you are stable but every other part of your life have failed because getting your career and finances together has consumed the first 35-45 years of your life. It is drastically important that we begin to tap into a inner creativity to help us create new and abstract ways of thinking, ideals and concepts to positively effect our exterior world. It all starts from within, so when looking at your bank account, if it isnt up to par, look at your creativity and see where you could make changes.
Often times when a person is experiencing a lack of creativity, it is because they are lacking inspiration. Living the same life, following the same schedule, driving the same route to work, eating the same food all help suppress creativity, as well as help speed the individuals perception of time ( as time begins to just blend due to lack of change). Its true, if you dont use it, you lose it. A proper diet also stimulates our creative faculties. Eating live fruits and superfoods will help nourish your body properly on all levels. When you feel better, you can do better.
Medition helps as well. Meditation is the act of being. Healing can tke plce when getting to the more advanced stages of meditation, healing physicaly,, spiritually and/or mentally.
Asking questions help with creativity I have found. When you get good at being curious, you start asking the right questions. Its not just about asking questions, its about asking the right ones. To come up with new things, you must be steadily taking in new information, this also goes back into living a routine life... When asking questions and obtaining new informaton you give yourself more data to process and different perceptions to make decisions from, thus changing your life trajectery. Reading helps as well.
See, when coming up with the photography business, I understood that investing some income that I was getting residually from services I did earlier would yeild me a camera. With that I could study and polish my skills. Around this time I slowly aquired the other neccessary gear required to run a successful photography business. I was also full time in college for human resources. I knew I didnt want to "sell out" for a job so I had to invest wisely in something I could supply for a household, but also have fun doing it! I just started asking questions. How can I make money doing something I love to do? What am I good at? What can I get better at or learn? What steps, or where can I find the steps? By simple asking these questions and meditating on the answer I had a business going before I even really realzied.
It doesnt have to be photography, or a traditional brick and mortor. It is the lesson here. I was selling candy from my lunch bag at 13 years old. That is creativity.Innovation. I didnt go looking for the Job God, I created one. And that is what we must do but on grander scales as adults. Dont let them suprress your creativity, as we all are uniquely expressing just one small perception of the most high. It must be expressed!
