ITS A FUNNY OLD WORLD

Unfortunately creative thought doesn't get much of a look in if you're working 45 hours a week in an environment, that is let's say far from creative, getting home may mean the family, or the tv and a glass of wine. 

If you're lucky enough to be in a career that does require your creative sense, and that doesn't mean you play at painting with half a potato,(although teaching is creative and actually I have made some interesting creations with potatoes) it can mean problem solving, management,  It , sales,  business, negotiation, not least all the design professions, as well as good old banking ...everything we do requires our creative mind, and the more expansively we think the more our careers will take off, it's all a matter of perspective, your either sucked into daily drudgery, or see every day hour and minute as an adventure of opportunity. 

If you only see other people as intrusions into your life, getting in your way at work, on the street, calling you on the phone to sell you something, that's all they will ever be. But if you start to look at life as a meaningful  interaction, and stop cutting yourself off from the messages, the direction, and the guidance, your life will instantly transformed into an exciting place of infinite possibilities and creativity.

I'm always reminded of a film called the Island with Ewan Mcgregor or Logan's run with Michael York for the older individuals amongst us. People hoping to get out the drudgery and pain of life for a better beginning or ending as the case may be. This story is told again and again in many ways across society, and in religion with your 72 virgins or heaven depending on the meet up group you sign up for. 

The world and universe is structured in a very simple way each of us is integral within, all part of the same balanced eco system of humanity, where unfortunately, currently we do not evolve other than to make ever more mind addictive and finally numbing gadgets to keep us amused. Life on it's own would be so boring without gadgets and what would I do without my phone to text my mates, or face book to send them a picture of my head in a bucket, metaphorically speaking... and in some cases for real.

There's nothing wrong with this other than looking at it as a diversion from the real you, and the price will be the real lifestyle you can manifest. When your lying on a beach earning 2o% in the sun looking at a beautiful view, do you really want to get on face book ...and if you do it would only brag to make your followers jealous..rightly so if you can create a life to get you there for more than two weeks a year.

There are many computer games that are based on the idea of a journey, meetings that send you in you directions, give you energy and resources, as well as fill you with a sense of achievement. The irony is, that life is exactly like this with immediate gains of energy and status as you move through each level. Even if you are locked behind a desk 40 hours a week there's opportunity all around you right now, you just have to idealise the lifestyle you want, visualise it in your mind, give it personal value, voice it to the world, make it at the forefront of your mind, and start to look for the opportunity that will be all around you to create that dream life you want, the career , the relationship .. The freedom. 

The more you believe in the power of your creative mind the more power you give to yourself to create the dream lifestyle you've always wanted..so start believing by giving value to your dreams rather than making them a mental escape...as that is all they will ever be...because that's how you perceive them.


As the interaction between humans is the way the universe makes it's moves ( you can hug a tree and talk to a cow for considerable lengths of time without much coming back, although I did hug a young beech last weekend and I must say I think the attraction was mutual) you have to interact to uncover the doors and the messages.

Networking events have the potential of being very good for this if you can develop the mindset of those who are there to sell their own wares. Last week I attended one with the express purpose of connecting with these people, for most of my time is spent with thoseof a mind to be looking for opportunity.

So I requested to the host that I might say a few words at which he gave me the opportunity. So I said ' I'm here because I'm in the Market for anything and everything so come and talk to me
