One ability has allowed man to transform his world from what it used to be to what it now is. And that is what can be called CREATIVITY.
Every human being, irrespective of race and creed has been blessed with the ability to create and solve problems. The way the brain is wired gives credence to this. The human brain had become so much complex and versatile that even the smartest of computers cannot compete with it.
Now that it has been established that every human has what it takes to come up with great ideas and solve problems, one would naturally have to ask this question: "Why are there still so many people living below their capacity?"
There are five answers that would be given to this:
1 Number one, Ignorance. There are quite a lot of people out there who are very much ignorant of who they are, what they are capable of doing and what they should be doing per time. When you are ignorant, you are in darkness. And one characteristics of those who are in darkness is that they cannot go far. They can't go far because they have no ability to see far. In the dark, there is no measurement.
The ignorant person must first become humble. This will involve him getting to admit that he knows nothing. This will bring about openness. When a man is open to instruction and guidance, he eventually gain Knowledge.
2 Instant gratification. So many people don't like persevering. They are always running around to get material things in the now. With that kind of approach, they won't make plans and neither will they engage themselves in ventures that will pay in the long run. Anyone who does not have an eye on the future is building on a faulty foundation.
3 Peer pressure. The man or woman who is constantly trying to be like everyone has no identity. You need to have identity to move forward. The lack of this important ingredient in many has reduced their capacity for achievement.
4 Faithlessness. This has nothing to do with being religious. Every step we take in life requires some level of faith. When you are travelling on a road, you have the faith that you will reach your destination safely. Anytime you become a faithless being, you see that you lose drive. Doubt becomes the sole ruling force over your life and you begin asking funny questions, typical of someone who does not believe in themselves or the world they live in.
5 Worry. A lot of people have worn themselves out by worrying over everything. They worry about the past, present and even the future. Little do they realize that being worried over things does not bring about the solution. It only complicates the matter. This is because being worried deprive one of all the creative energy that is needed for success and achievement.
As an individual who aims to attain great goals in any strata of life, you must not allow the creative juice in you to run dry. When this happens, the creator within have no choice but to die.
Avoid the five limiters above, and you are already strengthening the creator in you; it is only a matter of time before it manifests.
