Humans are truly special beings. We have the awesome ability to create all kinds of things. We can think of something, envision it, plan it, and take action. With repeated effort, the figment of our imagination comes to be.
And to top it off, we are simply born with this creative ability. We did not have to work for it. We did not have to buy it. We did not have to get a degree in order to use it. Instead, our creativity is a God-given, innate ability harboring inside all of us.
No matter what it is you want to create in life, there are four general steps in the process (TEPA):
The first step is to take time to think about something. Everything begins with a thought, so we must therefore hold our thoughts sacred. Take time to nourish your thoughts and capture them before they move on.
The second step is to envision your thoughts. Develop a clear picture in your mind what your desired outcome looks like. Even go beyond and imagine what it feels like, smells like, tastes like, etc. The more detail you can add to your vision, the better.
The third step is to develop a plan of action. Start talking about it, writing about it, drawing it, conceptualizing it, etc. Personally, the process of manually putting ink to paper is the most useful for me. Holding an ink pen in my hand, drawing, outlining, and writing is when my visions begin to magically come to life. Once they are on paper, I know in my heart they are achievable with the proper action and persistence.
The fourth step is sometimes the hardest, but it is absolutely fundamental to making your thoughts become a reality. You must take action! Yes, you must take persistent, positive action according to your plan.
If you consistently repeat these four steps, you will create an abundant and exciting life for yourself. You will undoubtedly encounter obstacles along the way, but unwavering persistence will eventually cause the flowers of creativity to bloom into being. It is your gift to create what flowers you desire in your life.
