Can We Have It All?

Must we give something up in order to get what we want?

Are you reconciled to hitting the invisible ceiling at work? Are you settling for just anyones affection? Or putting your passions away to pursue a ‘normal life’? Do you allow authorities, statistics, desperation, and old voices from the past to cloud your vision of the future?

The universe wants to give us everything, yet! We limit ourselves.

While we can experience unlimited success, our success must be limited to just one or two areas in our life. The problem is we are resigned to these facts.

Our limited thinking is precisely why we ‘eventually’ have to give something up. We don’t permit ourselves to consider we can have it all. To raise the bar we should start with an uncompromising, unrelenting desire to give ourselves a 10 in every area of our lives.

In school, we excel in many subjects; however, in some subjects forget about it. There may have been a point in time in our school career when teachers made us feel small in some subjects, so we just stop trying and resigned ourselves that it is true.

However, much later, when school marks don’t matter and we can be ourselves we tend to find ourselves using the same old values we learned from our school days our peers or parents.

You are here, now, reading this. If you have aspirations, hope, expectations you have a GOAL. Whatever it is you are doing right now you can also have whatever it is you are thinking of.

Time to rethink!
Discover you can excel at something you thought you stunk at.

The universe wants us to learn that:

We can have it all.

Why not?

A good starting point is to write down your thoughts and contact a Life Coach. Start to put those plans you thought were just pie in the sky to the test.
Nothing is ever achieved if you don’t try.

Can Stress Cause Severe Headache?

Well, stress is one of the major contributors to various types of headache. And in fact stress originated headache happens to be directly proportional to the level of stress faced by the person. It could be a persistent headache if you constantly remain under stress or it could be an acute headache that ends once you are out of stress. It could even turn out to be a recurring headache if you experience one stress after another, in continuation.

Can Creativity Be Taught?

Many people think that creativity is a trait that is only reserved for people who are born with the talent. That it is a child’s natural talent, a gift if you would call it and like beauty, it is not possible to nurture and develop it. That it can’t be taught by any means. Well, I do not think so.

I believe creativity is a skill that can be taught and developed to anyone especially children. The main reason why I think children are more suited to creativity training is because children are not exposed to the world around us as much as we adults do. They may not have comprehend every faucet of life as we adults know. They do not have the subconscious mindset that we adults do.

Take for example, you have an idea that you think is brilliant yet your subconscious mind is also telling you that if you told others about your idea, you will be laughed at and ridiculed. As a result over time, your creativity may have suffered or suppressed.

For children, their subconscious mind has not been fully developed yet. They still do not have the ability to tell whether something they have in their mind will be laughed at by others.

For us adults, we have a certain structure in life, we are expected to behave and think in a certain way or we will become society’s outcast. Being fearful of being outcast whether be by your friends, family, colleagues or associates forces us and our minds to conform to a certain way of life. It can be a determent to your creativity. Over mind, this certain way of life becomes engrained into us and our subconscious mindset.

With that said , that does not mean adults can’t develop their creativity. Just that it may take a longer time and the results may not be apparent.

Here are some simple steps you can take to develop your creativity skills.

1) You have to make the mental change that you are creative. You need to remove the mental block first. The easiest way to do that is to start a project, maybe on your hobby. Say for example, you are into cooking. Think of a new dish and give it a unique name. Don’t use any references from your cooking books.

2) Broaden your horizons by reading magazines, reading news, travelling etc. Basically let your imagination run wild.

3) Carry a notepad or any recording device such as a mp3 recorder. Then record any ideas that struck you. You find that ideas may come to you in the most unlikely places and moments. So it helps if you have some way of recording it.
