    Self Motivation tips
    Smile is the most powerful force to influence others.

    George Westinghouse refused to accept the negative opinions of those around him. He was rated "dull, slow and impractical" by his teachers. He patented more than 400 inventions !.

    Airplanes (opportunity) are easier to catch before they leave the ground.

    Worry is the worship to the wrong God. 40 % of the worries never happen, 30 % have already happened, 12 % are unfounded health concerns, 10 % about nothing and 8% is the actual worry. 92 % of time is wasted thinking about worries having no basis. Worry will destroy health.

    Don't worry about what you can't change (complexion, handicapped ness, height etc).

    Default Increase Creativity

    Increase Creativity

    To increase creativity, do two things:

    1. Encourage it.

    2. Train your brain.

    Start on both of these right now, and you can experience greater creativity today.

    Encouraging creativity will make you more creative. No big surprise there. This principle is true for many things you might want to see more of in your life. Encouragement works. The only question then, is how do you encourage creativity?

    You start by paying attention to it. The subconscious mind tends to give you more of what you pay attention to. Ignore the creative aspects of your life, and you're telling your subconscious mind they are unimportant. Consciously note when you are creative, and look for opportunities to be creative, and your subconscious mind will start feeding you more creative ideas.

    Writing down your ideas is a good way to encourage and increase creativity. You can keep an "idea journal." Do this regularly, and you'll notice that you often start having more ideas while you are writing. Mediocre ideas may normally be forgotten, but by writing them down, your subconscious may work on them, and transform them into something very creative.

    You can also encourage greater creativity in yourself by putting creative ideas into practice. If you paint or write, for example, try anything new. Even just driving a different route to work to see if it is quicker can help. The point is to get you mind working outside of its regular patterns.

    Changing your surroundings can encourage creativity. Want more creativity in your love life? Hike up a mountain with your partner. Need story ideas? Try sitting on a roof to write. For new ideas for your business, take a notebook to the park and sit by the duck pond. Any change of environment can get your brain out of it's ruts.
