Awaken your Creativity
55We have lost our creativity as we have grown older. We have become comfortable in our comfort zones and cannot think or imagine our lives being otherwise. We tightly cling to our past, and let determine our future. Inside our minds we have created an image of who we are, what we can or cannot do. And each day we live to uphold this image. Somehow we have confined ourselves to what we already know, that is our past. And of course we cannot see any other way. However, there is so much more we can do or be? The only limits that are present are those we have created; or those that we believe to be present,
Those who believe that they can lead nations do. Those who believe that they can climb mountains do. Those who believe that they can write bestsellers do, and those who believe that they can dance do. The difference is only in the mindset. The difference is only in what we can see ourselves do. You can be as creative as your mind takes you. When we were younger we saw ourselves as having the ability to achieve whatever our minds wanted.Our perceptions were not rigid but creative.
However, as we have grown older, we have become accustomed to that which we know and use this as our guidance map. And even though somehow we feel that we can be mor; we dismiss these inner voices as mere day dreaming. Our eyes are quick to see obstacles. Our mouths ready to shout impossible. Even the people around us, do not encourage us. They pull us down, further reinforcing our limited beliefs. However, stop and think. Set yourself free of these imaginary limitations. Let your mind run wild. See different versions of you today. See different points of view today.
Think of something you would like to be or do. And really question yourself what is stopping you. Write these limitations down and really evaluate whether or not it can be done. When you begin to question, you will realise that in most situations, the limitations are self imposed. You will see that the limitations can be transcended if you get out of your comfort zone. Let go of your past. Start afresh. Today you are new person. And today you can do,or be whatever you choose to be; and that can only happen of course If just like a child your desire does not seek to hurt or harm anyone; and if just like a child, you know no limitations; and if just like a child you let yourself be guided by your creativity.

Good evening. I very much enjoyed the hub...Awaken Your Creativity. At any moment I thought I was going to see my picture. This is so who I was,until I in 2003 began to muster the courage to peek my head out of my box.I began to see, think and believe bigger. I have even begun revisiting those long ago dreams...deferred. Thanks for the well written and powerful piece.
Thanks Annaw! your comments inspire me to write even more. Am glad to have written something of value. Good day!
Hi rarestone, thanks so much for your thoughtful comments on my hubs. I like what you said here...and most esp. about TODAY YOU ARE A NEW PERSON! YES!!! LOL If we can believe that everyday is a fresh start, we can keep on awakening all the beautiful things inside us and let it out :)

true as we get older we do tell ourselves that we can't or aren't suppose to do this or we are to old
