HOW TO RELEASE YOUR CREATIVE ABILITIES.



Everyone is endowed with creative abilities or unique abilities; sometimes it takes extreme poverty or suffering on our part to make us realize that we can actually come out of that impoverished state by our creativity. When you begin to release the creative power of your mind, no force on earth can enslave you in poverty. People may succeed in stopping you from moving from one place to another, but nobody can stop your mind from thinking far and wide to get the necessary idea needed for your change of status.

There are 3 major ways by which we encounter wisdom to release our creative abilities:

First and foremost, you have to look upward. You must realize that without God you can do nothing. Every talent or gift comes from him and was given to you to develop in order to excel in life. Look unto God for inspiration and ideas because He is the source of creativity and breakthroughs. One God given idea can change your life positively forever.

Secondly, you have to look inward. There is no person alive without a unique talent. The heart of a man is a reservoir of unlimited potentials. You need to search out these potentials through deep thinking. Nobody can help you more than your desire to succeed. Think of what you can do or are good at and develop yourself along your potentials. A stranded mind gives birth to a stranded destiny. Get thinking! Get positive!  Greatness is not a function of your environment but your mind, and achieving success is a deliberate act. Be determined to succeed. If there are obstacles on your way, use them as stepping stones to attain greatness. Sometimes, you have to shut yourself out to be with yourself and plan how you want your life to be like. If you fail to use your mind, you will end up a failure! Open your mind, lest thou come into poverty.

Thirdly, look outward. You need people to climb on in order to get to the top. No one ever gets to the top alone. Even Moses the great prophet needed Aaron and Hur to hold his hands up in the time of war for Israel to win (Exodus 17: 8-13). Everything you need to excel in life does not necessarily have to come from you. Look out for people who have succeeded in your area of interest and learn from them.

Ben Carson, the world famous neurosurgeon, was as a kid the dullest in his class. Ben needed the help and influence of certain people to succeed in life. In his biography titled, Gifted Hands, he stated “Throughout my life at various times, specific individuals have touched my life and enabled me to climb from the bottom of my class to the top of my profession.”

You must learn to use your eyes to observe your environment carefully and look for areas where you can make a change and impact the world positively. Everybody is looking, but few are actually seeing. Walt Disney, the creator of Disney World, at a lowest point in his life lived in a room with mice all around, and observing how these mice behaved, gave rise to the popular cartoon Mickey Mouse. What are you seeing! Also, tune your ears properly to hear opportunities. Learn to listen carefully when people are talking. Hearing starts with listening properly. It’s not what you listen to that makes you great but what you hear. Your eyes and ears are God’s gifts to you to enrich your creativity.

The essence of creativity is to enhance humanity and be a solution. Creativity is about responsibility; responsibility to yourself and the world.
