We are aware
that we live in the creative age. The
competition is fierce and the desire for materialistic comfort is always in
upsurge trend. At the same time, longevity is more. Though
most of the time due to constraints in life, we are gloomy. The occasional
happiness when arrives, we try to forget
the sad episode and get energized to involve in the revelry. Despite all these things, we live now with
more creativity. The more and more people like to shine and show their creativity
in the fields of arts, music, literacy and spirits. As per Daniel Pink, there
are four ages, the Agriculture age, Industrial age, Information age and the
modern conceptual age of creators. If we consider his theory of last one, the faculty
of creativity is not an inborn quality. It is an acquired quality and can be
learned, of course, with perseverance and dedication. Creativity is that art by which you can
perceive your world in a new way, give
focus on lateral thinking to find out solutions to your problems and turning
new ideas into realities. Your new ideas
may not produce results immediately, but if you give your focus steadfastly, you will be able to find
out something fruitful out of your ideas.
Here, don’t misled between creativity and the power of imagination. Creativity depends
on what you think and what effective actions you take to turn the thoughts into
realities. If you only think and don’t
act, the same cannot be termed as creativity.
Creativity often comes from the power of thinking.
It could be dull, ordinary or just a routine one. Or you could have a big thinking, but the
same may be beyond your
capabilities. You must acknowledge the
fact that at the initial stage, very few thoughts are truly superb and you cannot take the same as granted for implementation. To bring ideas into action, you first
recognize your talent, assess your intelligence and passion. Once you are able to identify these
attributes and hone your skills to think in a right direction on a continuous
basis, the effectiveness of the power of
thinking will be increased
substantially. Here the intellect has a prime importance.
The ability to think, questioning others to know
the causes and effects, an inquisitiveness to learn more, weigh various options
before deciding a solution and also the ability to discriminate between the
good and the bad depend on your intellect and deep observation power. Take the case of eminent scientist Newton.
When an apple fell on his head, he did not ignore the issue as a trifling one
and utilized his intellectual power of thinking to develop the famous law of
gravitation.
An argument may come up that everybody is not
Newton. It is absolutely correct, but
unless you use your intellect, you won’t be able to arouse your
creativity. To sharpen your intellect,
your mind needs to be calm. The disturbed mind cannot yield any intellectual’s
thinking because the same will be distorted.
To have a calm mind, you need to get rid of desires and ego, which
create pressure and make you sensitive.
You must inculcate a habit to think bypassing the self-centered
values. Your thinking must focus not on an
individual basis, but on a collective basis. Life should not be fixed only to
your family members and beloved one. When your thinking is related to I, me and
myself, you cannot sharpen your intellect, because you will always remain
within the boundary of routine actions.
If you are able to break through from this syndrome of limitations, you
can achieve an extraordinary performance.
But the problem lies that we are so much bogged down with the concept of
me, we are not able to observe the world freely. We are mostly fixed in our limitations.
The mind must be in reverential mode. The mind must be propelled to think on right
direction, and then you must discharge all your responsibilities to your best
possible ability knowing that the results will depend on many factors, which
are beyond your control. If you
surrender yourself to the divine power, your mind will become calm. You must think not only for your own
benefits, you think of others too. Love for others will bring solace to your
life. We get this lesson from Krishna when he said to Arjuna in the Bhagwad
Gita, “Love the Kauravas, but kill them, if you have to.” Love is an universal phenomenon, but the actions
behind this depend on the nature you are dealing with.
: 2 :
Your body must work ceaselessly with all energy and
enthusiasms, but there should not be any attachment. You can reach this stage of detachment when
you are able to focus your thoughts on
the higher realm. Detachment from the lower realm or worldly affairs is only
possible, when you get attached to the higher.
This provides a sense of availing objectivity, which in turn, provides
you a divine blessing. Respect is the
real mantra of success. It provides you
an opportunity to convert your talent to achieve your desired goal. Respect is one of the major parts of
intellect through which you can find out an opportunity how to utilize the same for the betterment of
your growth. The more you show respect
to everyone, you will also get the same as a reciprocating behavior. When your intellect goes up, you will be able
to provide many brilliant ideas and these ideas will provide you to hone your
creativity. You will do your best and
take all corrective measures till your ideas become fruitful. Respect converts mediocrity to excellence. It
converts your belonging from an ordinary person to an extraordinary intellect
person.
