How to become more creative in your life?

Remember being a kid you were so enthusiastic. No one told how to use your imagination or thought how to be creative. You pretended you were an astronaut and imagined traveled in space. Being naturally created.

Why young children are so creative because they live in a present moment. They experience much less anxiety, worry, regret & sadness. They have a little ego (They’re unafraid of what others think of them). They are free to express their emotions. They laugh and cry freely without any barrier. They release their stress by expressing their emotions in a natural way. They do lots of exercise like jumping on the bed, roaming and playing around.

But when the same child enters school he learned to live small. He learned to stop dreaming live in a reality, fear of failure, rejection, competition, follow rules & regulation, a barrier of expressing emotions, etc. You learned to stop questioning the world. Just go with the flow and be prepared for the industry. No alternate way of thinking only one answer to a question.

Remember creativity is not a test, is not a skill to learn or a program to develop. Creativity is a natural thing. You are born with creativity. Only the barriers of our social life stopped our creativity & innovation.

The education system is designed in such a way that we only thing about the job. We are not thinking about our financial and social skills. We are just going with the flow and at the end of our life we regret like

I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

I wish I hadn't worked so hard.

I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends

I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Now the question comes in mind that how you can overcome your barriers?

You need to have so much courage to break those years of barriers. It takes time and patience.

Dale Carnegie said “You can conquer almost any fear if you will not make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in your mind”

Fear of rejection: The biggest barriers to getting success is the fear of rejection. Most of the people get stuck in life because of it. You need to understand that failure will not kill or harm you. It is there to show you what your mistakes are and teach you how you can improve yourself. You need to fail before you get success. It’s a part of your game. Once you have shifted your mind from failure than you will become unstoppable.

Passionate about work: Work for your passion is something everyone talks about but we ignore because we think we don’t have enough time to follow our passion. Simply if I explain “Passion is something which you could always wish to do in your life”. Think about your passion & experience the feeling when you live your life with your passion. Don’t think about what other people say remember when you were a child you were unafraid of what other people say. You can’t control other people taught only you can control your life.

Bigger Goal: Your goal is the ultimate reason for taking massive action. Set a bigger goal and start working hard for achieving that goal. Your goal should be the task, not the name, fame or money. Because if you perform the task with massive action than other things will come automatically.

Reading Books: Books are the tools which can help us to solve our problem. But you don’t have to read all the books. You do have to read books that help you to solve your problem. Remember “Leaders are readers”. If you want to succeed then you must read. One thing is common for all the successful people in the world that most of them are reading.

Mentors: You should search for the best people who can help you to reach your goal. Those who already achieved whatever you want to achieve in your life. Those who can mentor you and give the right direction of your life.

Once you have done away with removing those mental barriers, you can start reprogramming your mind for success. Remember success is not the choice it’s your duty, obligation & responsibility. After all, you were eliminating years of bad thinking and negative emotions. Be proud of what you have accomplished so far. Use this time to move forward and achieve what your heart and mind desire.
