Creativity

What will you make of today?

Most of the time when we talk about creativity, we think about artists, photographers, writers, crafters etc.

But there are no limits to how we can be creative. We need not have a talent or skill, nor does what we create have to be tangible, or even visible and often the invisible things we create are far more valuable than a perfect painting, or a beautiful hand crafted vase.

We can create amazing things with nothing but ourselves. We can create memories by taking the time to share things with people, travel to new places and try new things. We can create an atmosphere by being positive, making positive changes and sharing positivity.

By keeping an open mind and a positive attitude, the opportunity to create a little bit of magic comes around a lot more often. If we are open to new ideas and new experiences, the memories and good feeling that can be created will last a lifetime and add value to each and every day.

We can also create relationships, friendships and connections with other people, and the single easiest way to do this is to take the time to get to know them, to listen and to care. We're very quick when we meet people to tell them about ourselves and what we do, who we are. But by simply taking that little bit of time to listen to them and care about what you are hearing, the relationship forged will be stronger. I use this at work a lot. When prospecting a new client, before I even tell them about me and the company, I ask about them and theirs, and I genuinely care about what they are telling me. If I've taken an interest in them, they are much more likely to take an interest in me and what I am trying to achieve.

Our lives are the sum total of the things that we create, so the more time and energy we dedicate to creating good, positive and happy things, the better our lives will be. You can create drama, or you can create laughter, which do you enjoy more?

Create Karma.
