Enhance and expand your creativity, ability to think outside the box with

Maximum living.

Happiness is an illusive gain that we all desire. People define being happy in different ways, but it mostly boils down to finding a balance in life that will allow us peace and prosperity in all of the areas of our life.

So how do we find balance? The truth is that we probably won’t be able to achieve it to the degree that we want. The good news is that to get satisfaction in life we will not need to. All we need to do is to strive for it and we will be happy.

Here are a few tips that could impact the level of happiness in your life greatly:

- write down on paper the most important categories in your life. Periodically rate how successful you are in each of them and focus on the ones that in your opinion need work.

- find out what you are passionate about and make it a big part of your life.

- express your self as much as possible. Be creative in everything you do. One of the greatest things that impact our level of happiness is how much we express our selves creatively in our day to day life.

- take care of your body. Feeling healthy also makes us feel happy.

- let go of the past. Do not hang on to the past hurts and things that might have impacted you negatively. The easier you will be able to let go of things that bring you down, the freeier you will feel and the happier you will be.

At the end life isn’t complicated. We often make it hard on us. But all we really have to do is to bring our life to as balanced state as possible. The things that I recommended will also help.

Why do we need creativity anyway?

Creativity is outmost important in our life. People become unhappy when they feel that outside forces prevent them from expressing them selves creatively. Pretty much all loss is associated in one way or another with our ability or freedom to do something that we love, to express our selves.

So what do we need creativity for? Well the answer is simple - it is one of the tools we as human beings use to make our lives more fulfilling and content. It is an integral part of our existence and if we ignore it, we will not die, but surely experience a lack that comes from not having a complete existence. This concept is very similar to debating the importance of having two arms. Is it important to have two or can you manage without? There is plenty of people that do manage without an arm. But having both of your arms greatly improves the quality of life. So is creativity important? My answer is without a doubt!

Here is another great story

Cindy is a single mom. Being a single mom is difficult under best circumstances, but a specially if you don’t have a lot of money. One day Cindy had a brilliant idea. It was an idea for a book. A book on relationships called “What men know about women”. A small coffee table book, it was going to be quite unique - it was going to be completely blank inside. What? A book that’s completely blank?  Absolutely.  I love how smart this idea is.

After this book was produced she encountered numerous rejections by big book store chains, who did not understand this concept. At that point she decided to try and sell it her self. That road wasn’t easy for her either, but her creative thinking and perseverance eventually brought her success. She ended up selling this concept through small hair salons and boutiques. First one at a time and then thousands. She made a lot of money at the end, but pretty much all of her success I say could be attributed to her inventive and creative ability.

The last thing I heard about her was that she wanted to get married again, accept she wanted a wedding in outer space.

What an amazing ability to think without limits. This is the kind of thinking everybody should aspire to. Just imagine how the world would be if everyone would be coming up with crazy ideas like that.
