MIND IS WOMB OF CREATIVITY

Sir,

The mind is the womb of creativity and creativity is very necessary especially where we encounter difficult situations in life. The correct perspective helps us think through and see solutions out of seemingly disastrous situations. 

The unfortunate thing is that many of us are conditioned from childhood to view life from the negative. We always see the glass half empty instead of half full. What we consistently allow our minds to feed on is usually key to shaping our perspective in life. 

Whatever perspective we embrace will have a major impact on our choices and decisions. In fact the ability to make a comeback after experiencing a number of setbacks is usually determined by our perspective and attitude. 

“We will sometimes have defeats in life but you can have defeats as merely the process to get to win,” Maya Angelo once said. Only a positive perspective can make us see life like that. 

When we embrace a good perspective of our challenges, it will fuel our enthusiasm to keep going in order to create the future we have been dreaming about. The right attitude and perspective have the power to unlock prison doors of past defeats and set free the realisation of our dreams. 

Every setback we encounter is also most likely an opportunity to start afresh or change direction for the better. This is why we must be willing to view situations in a positive way. A negative perspective and attitude will always distort facts and blind us to new doors and opportunities.    

Positive

In the context of developing a positive perspective, the friendships we choose are very key. Positive friendships are a vital part of effective living, successful living and necessary to becoming useful citizens. We must therefore choose good friends. A positive perspective is always developed when we refuse to dwell on negative past experiences. 

We may not be able to change our birth circumstances or what happened in our past, but we can surely do something about how we choose to view life and our future. Life has many challenges, but it is also filled with wonderful possibilities; it all depends on our perspective. 

Change usually begins with changing the way we view ourselves, our situations and the people around us. “The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitude of mind. As you think, so shall you be,” said William James. 

What we constantly think about in our minds is what will show out in our attitude, actions and behaviour. 

Actually what we think about ourselves and our purpose in life will usually determine our perspective, attitude and behavior towards others. Our ability to succeed and make it in life is not usually hindered by what others think about us, but rather how we perceive ourselves.
