An Attitude Of Creativity

Everyone can create.

An Attitude Of Creativity
Ted Radio Hour

I'm one who believes firmly in creative therapy. While the vulnerable mind is ordinarily closed off to harsh discipline and negative reinforcement, a creative mindset practically breeds wellness. What allows the general population to properly comprehend the concepts of creativity is open-mindedness. For some unknown reason, a large percentage of people tend to be stuck in their ways, and reject that creativity could, indeed, be a lifestyle.

Another misconception about the imaginative lifestyle is that your credentials must say "artist," or "musician." Others who believe they have more mundane careers forget that an official title does not determine whether or not you are creative. I bring this point to light because I have personally heard it so many times. "Oh, I'm not creative. I have no imagination." False. Of course, you have an imagination, and of COURSE, you have the capacity to be one of the most creative forces in the world. That's what I believe is so magical about ingenuity - or anything abstract - that there is no ceiling cap to what may be invoked.

I had to share my thoughts on this matter because a multitude of individuals feeling stuck firmly in a prosaic lifestyle have potentials that require some sort of key to unlock. In my experience, I was contact with an entire faction of creative individuals, and they were keen to convince me of my projected capabilities. I must say, if you are witnessing someone continually bash themselves for not having an imaginative thought or idea, tell them that creativity lives everywhere. It does not attach itself to a certain sect of civilization, nor does it practice discrimination. Creative minds must continue to cultivate creativity and other creative individuals. If you have any aching ideas clawing at the back of your mind, I urge you to throw away societal titles and attempt to live through a curious lens.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
