CREATIVITY

We live in a thought world.   Most of what you see around you was first created in the mind in a form of a thought.   We hear this statement countless of times, but do we know what it actually means?  

Pay attention and  think for a moment.  The computer monitor in front of you, the CPU, the empty cup of coffee, your chair, the layout of your apartment, your TV, your mattress, the lamp, your sofa,  etcetera were first created in the mind of the person or persons that helped designed them.  Take this into consideration the next time that you come outside.  Think about everything that you see, and see it through the eyes of the people that invented them.  How would you perceive your world?  


Said it another way, everything that was created by us humans had to first come into form in the mind.  A thought is the blueprint of everything that was created.  Which means, that in order for you to create anything, you first need to see it in your mind as real as it would look when you have it.   You can't really create anything if you first can't see it in your mind. 


Think for a moment.  Are your thoughts a reflection of what you see around you? Or are the things around you a reflection of your thoughts?  If everything is created by the things that you think, and by what you say,  then your whole life is currently being created by what you think, say and do on a daily basis.  

Two things to keep in mind.  First, we all have a brain, and the power to think.   There are infinite possibilities.  You can either design with your mind the life that you want to live, never stopping until you see that vision your reality (why settle for less?).   Or we could just handle the things that were already invented.  


What do I mean by that?  Well,  most likely, you go to work for a company that was originally created by somebody else.  You can become extremely good at what you do.  You can be an excellent manager, and make enough money  to have the impression that you are making it.  But who is more powerful?  The man that came up with the original idea to start the company that grew to the point of becoming an empire?   Or you, who went to college to learn how to successfully manage it?

We hear that ideas make us rich.  How many of us really think that?  Do we really use our imagination?  We waste so much energy in mindless conversations with no substance.  We are so fixated on entertainment, on escape, on getting hooked on vices, on having a good time that very little if any is spent on thinking the things we want to think.  Have we forgot our purpose?   

The first thing that you have to keep in mind is that you are unique.  Stop wasting your time comparing yourself to others.  Your perception is deeply subjective and what comes out of your mouth are just opinions.   Everything is an illusion. Why?  Because everything that surrounds you at this moment,  i.e,   the money, the family,  your friends, problems, etc, will at some point disappear.  Only you will remain 'til the end.  And you too, will cease to exist.   

Your mind creates everything.  Realizing this gives you tremendous power.  Because as long as you think that things just happen, you will never exercise the power that resides deep within you.  Only when you can clearly see that everything in your life was brought about with your thoughts,  you will start to assume more  responsibility for everything that surrounds you.   


Then, and only then, the wheels of your fate will begin to turn and you'll have the life that you've always dreamed.
