Successful
people have the tendency to do the impossible.
They are unafraid of criticism and possess the ‘dare-to-do spirit’. This trait is known as ‘creative vision’. ‘Creative vision’ is the capacity to envision
new possibilities, dream new dreams, and tap into the vast powers of the
universe that permit you to build a new tomorrow. Locked deep within us in a vast reservoir of
creative ability and intuitive insights waiting to be released.
Creative
vision deals with ideas that can help you tap your inner resources. The imagination component of our mind is described
as the ‘workshop of the soul’ where all plans for individual achievement is
shaped.
Imagination
is the soil in which creative effort blooms.
Imagination is also the key to all individuals’ achievements, the
mainspring of all human behavior, and the door leading to the inner-self. All achievements begin as a thought idea
which later must be translated into its physical equivalent
Creative vision
is inspired by a defined major purpose and a host of other success principles. It is a quality of mind belonging to people
who follow the habit of going the extra mile, where monetary compensation is
not its highest aim.
Creative
vision may be an inborn quality of the mind, or it may be an acquired
quality. There are two (2) types of
imagination:
1.
Synthetic
imagination consists of a combination of already existing recognized
ideas, concepts, plan or facts arranged in a new order or put to a new use.
2.
Creative
imagination has its base in the subconscious section of the
mind and serves as a medium by
which new facts or ideas are revealed through the faculty of the sixth sense.
Although
imagination is the forerunner of creative vision, it is important to realize
that the application of other success principles remains vital. These include:
1.
Need to have a definite major
purpose
2.
Going the extra mile
3.
Applied faith
4.
Mastermind alliance
5.
Personal initiative
6.
Enthusiasm
7.
Persistence
Imagination
inspires creation, the use of personal initiatives and creates enthusiasm. It also gives you the will to try again. It is as one of the ingredients of
achievement.
HOW TO BE CREATIVE
1.
Spend considerable time collecting ideas
2.
Play; do not work at generating ideas
3.
Write down good ideas
4.
Do not strain for ideas
5.
Take a walk, meditate, and take a nap
6.
Involve mind in some other distraction
People with
creative vision know that success only comes by helping others succeed. It is not necessary for another person to
fail so that they may succeed. They are
not afraid to make mistakes and to accept responsibility for them. They never try to shift that responsibility to
another. Creative vision inspires the
development of personal initiative which is a guiding force of great importance
to personal achievements.
