Thoughts...

A monthly newsletter of inspirational quotations and personal reflections...


Quotation

"If you don't follow through with your creative ideas, someone else will pick them up and use them.  When you get an idea of this sort, you should jump in with both feet, not just stick your toe in the water...  Be daring, be fearless, and don't be afraid that somebody is going to criticize you or laugh at you.  If your ego is not involved no-one can hurt you."

--Guru RHH

Personal reflections

Everyone has creativity within them; although, it may be buried under the clutter of self-doubts and the fear of “what others may think.”  If creativity were only a concept that never surfaces, think what marvelous inventions, works of art, and breakthrough solutions to problems would never see the light of day.

When we think of creativity, our first thoughts may move to the world of art.  While art certainly grows out of the creative mind of the artist, creativity literally applies to everything we do.  We are all artists in our roles in life.  A creative solution to problems or projects brings with it the freshness of new ideas and the birth of things that never where.

What creative thoughts are flowing through your mind?  Sit down in a quiet spot.  Think about your dreams.  Be daring!  As your mental brush moves over your canvas of ideas, you will change colors and shapes as you give birth to those creative ideas.  Do not worry about what “others” will think, or say, or do.  As Guru RHH states, "Be daring, be fearless, and don't be afraid that somebody is going to criticize you or laugh at you.  If your ego is not involved no-one can hurt you."

Your creative ideas have value.  Act on them today!

Blessings and love,

Allen
