LOOSE YOUR FEAR OF BEING WRONG

"To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong" Joseph Chilton Pearce



The modern world with its globalization phenomenon is throwing challenges to people wherever they might find themselves. Now, it is not more enough to be born. You have to learn to live either by somebody’s rule or by your rules. Either way, it will take a combination of the two for you to live a successful life on this earth. Life has never had a one way ticket and it will never have a one way ticket for anybody.
It takes so many ways to reach our goals and that is the reason we might have assess to the same information or resource yet, we all use whatever we might have in our hands or heads for different purposes. It is out of these different forms of understandings that creativity is manifested. Creativity is inherent whether you are able to use yours or not. It will take more than just identification to make full use of your creative potentials.

I mean, there is always more than one way to reach the goal. If not a set target for companies in the same industry would have yielded the same results but nothing of the sought happens. There is always more than one way to attempt a challenge and solve the problem. You should not be limited by the single perspective you have been introduced or used to and open your mind, eyes, ears, heart and feelings. The world is full of possibilities so give yourself the chance to embrace as much possible.
Open your mind enough to be creative. Creativity is just about opening your eyes and ears to see and hear what you have never seen or heard before. Even if you have, try giving it a new look and sound. Just try that and see what you will be able to come up with. When you seem to be stuck, get creative. When the possibilities are not meeting your expectations, open your mind and make some more. Incase you are asking yourself if you can, the answer is Yes you can!

How many times have you wondered why certain things are happening? Certain rules, principles, concepts and so on exist? You have no excuse to do things the same way they have always been done in order to please people you have within your circle. Certainly you have gone through a lot of experiences that you can learn much from, yet you can also improve upon it and make the life of the other young ones coming better than you find yourself. I mean, what are the rules and regulations you don’t understand? Find the answers and help others to understand so that they will not be having the same bad feeling you are having whenever you think about them.

You are blessed to be found in a new day and you are more knowledgeable than ever. Get creative and develop some new strategies for going forward, making your life better and living a life of fulfillment. Do not confuse yourself to think that creativity is for artistic people. Creativity is not limited to artistic or literary pursuits. Creativity can be successfully applied to any undertaking and field of endeavour and it is a personal choice you have to make. Do not wait for somebody to tell you.

Make each effort fun and interesting by applying some delightful creativity to it. Get creative, and enjoy more success than ever before.


"The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it" Dee Hock

On My Mind

Life is a puzzle every piece fix together to create who we are, what we do, how we feel, every experience shapes us into who we will eventually become. I begun as a bling-slave, maybe my hidden memories tell a different story. Maybe I hold the key to a mystery even greater than that of my past. But sometimes some memories are better left forgotten. Sometimes some mysteries are better left unsolved. Sometimes you have to surrender your past and move on. But how can I lay down my quest? How do I say goodbye to yesterday when there is so much left undone? When there is so much left unsaid?

WHEN AM BACK ON MY FEET AGAIN

I am going to break these chains around me. I am going to learn to fly again. It may be hard, but I will do it anyway. Soon these tears of fear, tiredness, pain and insecurity will all be drying. Soon these eyes will see the sun of happiness, fulfillment, joy and love. It might take me a while but I will see it.

I am going to hear the children laughing. I am going to hear the voices sing. It will not be long till I hear them when I am back on my feet again. I am going to feel the sweet light of heaven shining down its light on me. One sweet day, one sweet sweet day I will feel it.

When I am back on my feet again, I will walk proud down this street again. And they will all look at me again and they will see that I am strong and stronger.
When I am back on my feet again, I am not going to crawl again. I will learn to stand tall again. No! I am not going to fall again. Because I will learn to be strong when I am back on my feet again

I will be back on my feet again.

JUST START IT

It is quite acceptable for a normal human being to be afraid. At least that is what I have grown to understand. Fear is something of a check that guides us from going beyond what we are use to although it might not be the case for everybody. At the same time, people who have been able to overcome their fears brought breakthroughs in their lives as well as the life of other people through their ability to overcome what they were afraid most.

The lesson I have leant from the little I know about fear is that, if you wait until the fear is gone, the opportunity will have already passed. At the moment fear overcomes you in a situation, you become ‘caged’ in your own mindset where you most of the times feel it is and will be impossible to do something that you are afraid of.

The power of overcoming fear just like any other power given to every human being is a battle of the mind first and then it can physically be acted upon. If you want to wait until you are sure you will get it perfect, you will never start it. The more you wait, the more so many opportunities will pass you by.

In dealing with fear, it all begins with intention. The master plan to face your fears is when you have made a personal decision to face it no matter the consequence. In such a situation, the best questions you can pose to yourself and answer candidly is what could be the worse scenario if I should do this or not do that? The time to act is when you have the intention. The time to act on your fear attitude is as soon as you feel the urge rise in you to make a difference not for yourself alone but for others whose life might depend on your decision.

The important note is that if you hesitate, you will begin to talk yourself out of it. When you give in to doubt, doubt will seize the momentum and remind you of all the things that are not true. It is understandable that fear can be good. So let the fear be an informer and a preparer to inform you and prepare you for is to come, but do not assume that it must stop you. Like the pain that reminds you that part of your body might not be functioning well and therefore there might be a need to visit a physician or a doctor, the same is what fear should do for you and not stop you. Be reminded that whatever you doubt you can do is precisely what you must find a way to do.

Breakthrough in life begins when you choose to transform each excuse for holding back into permission to step forward and make it happen. Tell yourself again and again that you can handle the ambiguity and the challenges, and can in fact thrive on them. Like the tie chi principle, you need not use your own energy but the energy of your opponent can be used again them. The moment you decide to get something done, go ahead right then and just start it. Decide to commit yourself, and you will be known for what you did. Go ahead, just start and success will be yours.

THE UNIQUE PEOPLE

It's not the critic who counts, nor the observer who watches from a safe distance. Wealth is created only by doers in the arena who are marred with dirt, dust, blood, and sweat. These are producers who strike out on their own, who know high highs and low lows, great devotions, and who overextend themselves for worthwhile causes. Without exception, they fail more than they succeed and appreciate this reality even before venturing out on their own. But when these producers of wealth fail, they at least fail with style and grace, and their gut soon recognizes that failure is only a resting place, not a place in which to spend a lifetime. Their places will never be with those nameless souls who know neither victory nor defeat, who receive weekly paychecks regardless of their week's performance, who are hired hands in the labor in someone else's garden. These doers are producers and no matter what their lot is at any given moment, they'll never take a place beside the takers, for theirs is unique place, alone, under the sun. They are entrepreneurs!

Joseph R. Mancuso (Centre for Entrepreneurial Management)

This is the true joy in life:

This is the true joy in life: the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no 'brief candle' to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

Once to every man and nation

Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth and falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah,
Off'ring each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
Twixt that darkness and that light.

Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong:
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above his own.

James Russell Lowell

A PLEDGE FOR ALL CREATIVE MINDS.

‘From now on I vow I will try to act the part of a person TEN TIMES bigger than I am now, for by so doing, I construct greater powers in my own brain which will actually build me into such a leader. I refuse to longer be confined by the shadowy walls which heretofore have cramped me into a narrow sphere. From this day forth the word ‘limit’ is banished from my mind.

‘Always will I strive to be greater than I am. I must SURPASS MYSELF. In each successive act, test, encounter, thought. I will be GREATER than in the one previous. I am what I am now, but in an hour I will be MORE than I am now. In everything will I exert more power to surpass myself.’

The great Western disease is...

"The great Western disease is, ‘I'll be happy when… When I get the money. When I get a BMW. When I get this job.’ Well, the reality is, you never get to when. The only way to find happiness is to understand that happiness is not out there. It's in here. And happiness is not next week. It's now.

I will not die an unlived life.

“I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which came to me as a seed goes to the next as a blossom and that which came to me as a blossom, goes on as fruit.” Dawna Markova,
