LIFE.DREAMS.CREATIVITY.HOPE

I have a zillion childhood memories but one memory that i could never forget were that of summer and  my fixation with tearing paper ! scissors and paper were my best friends and i could go on for hours  ! ( my aunt used to often claim that it was all karma and probably i had been a tailor or had worked in a salon in my previous birth ! ) 

As i grew older , i learnt to paint and draw but with that it also dawned upon me that i cannot draw .If i did try my hand at drawing it would often resemble a modern art with no meaning ! 

Then i tried my hand at craft , it was easy ( thanks to my childhood fixation !) . i learnt to use my" creative"  brains and often made things  look good and thus i started being referred to as "CREATIVE " ! my definition of creativity got limited to crafts , dance , music and everything else which pertained to a person artistic brains or like that a person could do with ease and which didn't require any help from anyone. 

As i moved out of school , i looked at my choices for further education , i was scared. I wanted to do something that was NOT risky that assured me a job no matter what  ! i choose  like a millions  others before me ENGINEERING as i felt it was safe and  could get  a nice job and other reason being that i was scared that anything else  required creativity that i didn't possess . 

As i finished my graduate course and i got the well needed break to sit and think what i wanted to do in my life , i realized engineering wasn't my passion . Yes , it did help me have a rational and structured approach to things but i could never be a successful engineer because i wasn't interested . The four years made me realize that though i had a job that could pay me well ,  money wasn't a criteria anymore and all those days when my dad who had always talked about enjoying the job and job satisfaction came rushing back . the reality dawned on me . 

I COULD NEVER BE HAPPY UNLESS I DID SOMETHING I LOVED .

and another 

I COULD NEVER ACHIEVE ANYTHING UNTIL I TAKE RISKS.  

BUT  then again there lay another problem .creativity. Was i creative enough to switch to another field in my case , management ?would i be able to negotiate prices , market products and mange people ?

hen i talked , voiced out my concerns which i guess i had never told anyone not even  to my dad , but as i talked i realized how wrong i was . i learnt another lesson.  

SOMETIMES IN LIFE , WE HAVE TO VOICE OUT OUR OPINIONS BECAUSE SOMETIMES OUR PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS ARE VERY FAR FROM REALITY .

and 

ITS OKAY TO DO SOMETHING WRONG UNLESS YOU DON'T REPEAT IT . (i still have to get used to this one ! )

The lighting struck and i realized that every one of us are creative .Human are creative be it in any field or any job right from the beggar who changes tactics to get more money to the us ,students,who make up new reasons to not study , so are animals who adapt to the changing climate and find creative ways to protect themselves . 

Creativity is a way of life ,a part of us and our life . It is a part of everyone of us . All we need to do is believe in ourselves , give freedom to our thoughts and dreams and the rest would follow . I am firm believer in "THE SECRET "by Rhonda Byrne .I wouldn't  say that i am always positive or perfectly follow everything that is written but yes , sometime in the future i would like to see myself in that space of positivity .
 As Rhonda Byrne rightly says 

“If you’re feeling good, then you’re creating a future that’s on track with your desires. If you’re feeling bad, you’re creating a future that’s off track with your desires. As you go about your day, the law of attraction is working in every second. Everything we think and feel is creating our future. If you’re worried or in fear, then you’re bringing more of that into your life throughout the day.” 

                                                                                     ― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

CREATIVITY IS A PART OF US . BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND THE REST WOULD FOLLOW .  

I found this awesome quote by Steve jobs , couldn't resist to put it up ..

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. 

I hope someday in future we all get the passion to follow our dreams , be positive and strive hard for them and then , life could get no better !
