A creative mind

Creativity is what makes everything interesting in life. It all starts in the mind, what the mind can think and create is what makes a person creative. What brings about the differences in people lives is how creative and innovative they are. Creativity is not only evident in technology, artistic work, music etc it cuts across every aspect of a person’s life including social life. Cases in point there are people who are more likable than others and are more influential than others. The secret behind their social popularity is creativity. A creative person knows the interests of the society and therefore behaves accordingly as the situation befits.
A creative mind finds joy in everything that he or she does. With creativity life is meaningful since a creative mind see beyond what the normal eye sees. A creative mind is surrounded by resources and opportunities that are invisible to others. When others struggle for things that are beyond their reach, a creative mind begins with what is available and slowly progresses. It does not mean that for you to succeed you need to know people who are in higher positions, creativity will get you there. A creative mind never lucks work to do no matter how hard situations get. Such a person’s life is well planned and achievable targets are set. Everyday ends with an achievement and proceeds from one level of success to another. There is no way a creative person achievements reach satisfactory, it moves from one level to another. Once one achievement has been accomplished another one comes in and so on.

Taking an initiative

An initiative is the responsibility of taking it upon one’s self to do something rather than waiting for someone to do it for you. It comes at a point when you realize there is no miracle in success. All successful people take an initiative in life by realizing that they are on their own. Our parents, relatives and friends may be there for us but everyone has to run his or her own race in life. The most challenging part in living a successful life is taking an initiative and once you are past this stage other things would just come along. Many would be tempted to say I am waiting for God to answer my prayers and so they live hoping that God will do it for them. The bible says when you ask it shall be given to you knock and the door shall be open to you. If these statements are true, how come there are beggars on the streets, I am sure that even beggars believe in God. There is no point waiting for eternity for a prayer to be answered when you can take your own initiative to do it.

Gratitude

Gratitude is a word that means appreciation. It is that which is not only said by a word of mouth but also by action. It brings a feeling of joy in parties involved. It wipes away guilt and brings peace within the heart. When you open your mouth to say “thank you” you have already created a clear environment for a good relationship. Many people who are grateful always receive blessings on their way. Anything good that comes in life deserves gratitude no matter how little it is. When we mess up our lives we are tempted to curse but a focused mind will have nothing to curse about. It takes gratefulness to bring that which is lost and console a fruitful source. The lives that we posses are not ours, we live by chance today we have and tomorrow we don’t. While others go down on their knees in gratefulness seeking for more blessings, others are busy taking pride in what they already have. Although gratitude sounds like a positive thing we tend to take it for granted yet there is more than meets the eye. When we succeed in life we tend to forget where we have come from. Life takes twists and turns, some times we are up there, sometimes just hanging, barely hanging on and sometimes next to nothing. Gratitude will always keep us on track.

True meaning of happiness

Are you living a happy life? It is a question that most people should ask themselves. It is difficult to know by just looking at a person’s face whether they are happy or not. It is unusual to see a sad face but when you see one, still it is ambiguous. People are different, there are those who see nothing to smile or laugh about but this does not mean they are not happy, yet there are those who are extremely jolly but live very unhappy lives. Question is what makes people happy? Is it money, wealth, class, fame, gender, age, achievements? If this is a way of judging happiness then what about those people who are poor, insane, sick, disabled? Does it mean that they are unhappy?
The bible states in the presence of God there is fullness of joy. Personally I have been in church and still I find myself still living unhappy life. And I am sure I am not the only one. So, what seems to be the true meaning of happiness? Celebrities have all the fame they need and of course money but some of them are not happy or were not happy a good example is Michael Jackson. The poor live their lives wishing they were rich often they would be heard saying when I become rich I will be happy. When riches come they are always accompanied by unhappiness so, what is the true meaning of happiness.
Recently I discovered happiness lies in the inner peace. If you don’t have this no matter who you are, what you are, what you possess you will never be happy, never!!

Self Drive

These are two words that shouldn’t be separated from each other. Self is a word that refers to a person while drive is an adjective meaning an act of moving something. These words when combined together mean a person moving towards something. We are living in a dynamic world where everything is in motion and the faster you are the more apt you become. The economy is going up, life is become expensive. Those who do not struggle remain poorer and poorer while those who are self driven are getting richer and richer. The gap between the rich and the poor is becoming too shaming. So the question is, are you self driven or driven by life?

The majority lie in the latter, which is saddening. But the most interesting thing about it is that, we wait until things get too hard to bear for us to take an initiative. It is quite true that you might never see the light until you experience darkness. I personally agree with this. It happened to me once. When you fail in something it does not mean it is the end of the world. Failure is an open door to greater things. Every successful person must have started somewhere. Life is not always smooth; it has its own ups and downs. Those who are down might think that those at the top don’t know what is happening beneath them. They have been there before. It takes a self driven person to reach at the top.

My first time on the freaking net

Hello World!

I can't believe it!! I'm finally online. See, this guy showed me how to type with my two lil' fingers, and then showed me how to put my freaking thoughts on the net. So here I am, experimenting with my two bit thought stream. Wonder whether any moron will ever find my crap worth a peek? If so, well, I'll be damned!!

Anyway, this is a test run to see how my blog looks like. Bet it looks like ... well... like that other creature from my nightmares!!!
