Unlocking Your Creativity

Creative thinking can be stimulated by two things; intensely desired goals and pressing issues. Your creative capacities need something to hone in on and your job is to provide it.
A Continual Stimulus for Ideas Intensely desired goals, clearly defined with detailed plans for their accomplishment act as a continual stimulus for ideas to achieve them.
Visualise Your Goals To trigger your imagination, write out a clear description of your ideal end result or goal. Be clear about the goal, be flexible about the process. Think about it, visualize it as realized over and over. Project your mind forward to the picture of the realized goal and then look back to the present.
Define Your Goals Clearly Think on paper. Make a plan and then work on the plan, updating it, changing it, adding to it as you think of new ways to work toward the goal. The more clearly defined and keenly desired your goals, the more of your natural creativity will be released for goal attainment.
The Proper Approach to Problems The second stimulant to creativity is pressing issues. The key to idea generation when you face a problem is to approach the problem confidently, expectantly, with the attitude that there exists a logical, practical solution just waiting to be found. The most creative people have a relaxed attitude of confident expectancy that causes their minds to function in original and imaginative ways.
Diagnose Your Problems Accurately Define your issues clearly in writing. Accurate diagnosis is half the cure. Sometimes you will find that you are dealing with a "cluster problem," one that is made up of several smaller problems. Your job is to sort them out and then go to work on each one separately.
Break Up the Clusters In many cluster issues, there is a core issue surrounded by a lot of symptoms. Creative thinking requires that you separate the core issue, and then focus on resolving that before worrying about the smaller issues.
Action Exercises Here are two things you can do to stimulate your creativity. First, be absolutely clear about your goal. Write it down and make a plan to achieve it. Think of different ways you could accomplish it. Second, define your issues clearly and then make a list of all the possible solutions to your issue. Take action on at least one idea immediately.
Now go and be more successful.

"Think of success as a game of chance in which you have control over the odds. As you begin to master concepts in personal achievement, you are increasing your odds of achieving success."
“Believe in yourself, anything is possible, no matter who you are or where you come from. Find your path and stay on it, if you want something, nothing can stop you. Have passion and you will be successful”
