Unlock the portals to your creativity

Yesterday we discussed tapping your inner resources.
Today we’ll discuss four steps to increase creativity.
We want to unlock the portals to our highest creativity.
1. Dream your most impossible dreams.
Share your dreams, hopes and goals – and their benefits.
Tell those you love and who love you.
Avoid critics and naysayers. They will drag you down.
Share dreams with those who will help make them real.
I planned to sell 2 million books to conquer illiteracy.
Then I heard Jack Canfield planned to sell 1 billion.
I immediately raised my goal to 20 million books.
I'll probably raise it again. You can raise yours, too.
2. Make the most of the time you have.
Your primary mission each day is to pursue your dreams.
Set your goals the night before.
Let your subconscious mind work on them as you sleep.
Review your achievements at the end of the day.
Hold yourself accountable for moving forward.
3. Give yourself a Golden Hour.
Read that which strengthens & inspires you an hour a day.
Early in the morning or after everyone has gone to bed.
Either time is good. It’s your choice.
I like to read on the treadmill to exercise mind & body.
Luxuriate in thoughtful reading. Listen to great music.
4. Become a camera.
Open all of your senses to life.
Observe closely the world around you.
Enjoy seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, feeling.
Learn from it. Rejoice in . Note this in your journal.
These notes are for you — and your grandchildren.
One day they will read about your life.
Tomorrow we’ll discuss balancing creativity in your life.
