What would you like to create? A peaceful life, a successful life, a good life, a sculpture, a piece of art, a book? What is it that you would like to create? Whatever you want you can achieve it. All you have to do is follow your natural compass. Remove rubbish that takes you off course and let natural you come through. It is not case of adding new behaviours to create what you want. No. It’s a case of moving obstacles out of away and let natural you come through.One of biggest obstacles of all to being creative in life, to reaching your potential: is conformity.
As Shakti Gawain says: ‘We will discover nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or other peoples model’.
Just think for a moment. How much do you conform?
The world of work wants you to conform more and more. The computerisation of systems has taken away creativity of individuals and made you conform. Individual creativity of employees has almost disappeared in favour of conformity. The clothes you wear. Isn’t there a strong push to get you to be similar if not same as everyone else.
The food you eat. Don’t you feel that you are being told what to eat and where you ought to eat it. Which restaurants are fashionable, which food is good for you. What supplements you ‘ought’ to take.
So its not surprising therefore that in our family lives and our lives in general we have become slaves to conformity. The habit and behaviour of conformity, wanting to be same, is stopping you from touching your creativity.
To reach your true potential, to open up your creativity you must start by having:
Trust in yourself.
Having trust in yourself is about listening to real you, your feelings, your heart and becoming person you really are capable of becoming. The you, who has been hidden for years and would really like to show world how good you are.
Now, what are first thoughts that come into your mind to stop you achieving this aim and objective? Often first thing that stops you having power over your day to day behaviour is one who sits on your shoulder or voice inside your head that constantly nags like a oppressive parent. It’s whole aim is to sabotage your efforts. To destroy your self esteem.
