Right Brain vs Left Brain Creativity Test
Being creative or artistic doesn’t mean you know how to draw or play an instrument. Being creative is a way of thinking, a way of
viewing the world.
Creative people use the RIGHT side of their brains more than the LEFT. Take the test and find out if your brain is RIGHT for a
creative career.

Ever thought, when you look around, why some people appear to be more successful?
Some may even have been in your school. They had the same teachers, the same lessons, examinations to sit. So what made the difference between then and now. Why do they appear to have achieved more in life. Could it be some sort of Success Factor!
What is this Success Factor.
Well, it’s not some sort of great secret saved for the select few. It is merely this. Successful people think and act differently. It’s how they think and what they do with their time that makes the difference.
There are, of course, different areas to be successful in, but when you talk of being successful, most people will think in terms of financial success. It’s a case of doing some research, finding mentors who are already successful, making a plan, following in their footsteps, taking action, making corrections, overcoming set backs, having determination, applying visualisation every day and never giving up.
7 POINTERS TO HELP YOU GET STARTED NOW.
“NOW” being the operative word. You can only think and do in the NOW. What you think and do NOW will make a difference to your future. Sitting and watching TV or thinking through and making a business plan. Which one has the greater potential towards success? Pretty obvious really isn’t it. It’s not just a question of being lucky.
* Research - look for and research a business, products/services that are already established and successful.
* Find a mentor(s) people who have already found the way and done what it takes to become successful in that particular business. It is easier if you already have a knowledge in or are interested in that field.
* Make a plan. How can you find a place without a map?
* Put each process, component and system into place into a mode of operation like the mentor did.
* Manage that plan. Find ways around obstacles and set backs.
* Visualisation - every day, go through a mental rehearsal. In your mind, go through the method step by step of how you will achieve the desired goal.
* Vow to never give up. If one way fails, it is not the end. Try a different approach and keep trying until you get through to the next step. Persistence is the key.
* If you enjoy what you are doing, it’s not hard work!

Why is it that some people seem to have a flow of creative genius and others are lacking? Well, in reality we all have the ability to be creative. It’s just some people don’t realize that they can acquire it just like any other skill. Hopefully through this article I can give you some insight to get your creative genius going.
So how can you get your creative juices flowing? First of all, read everything you can get your hands on. You want to take in as much knowledge and learning as you can. Throughout this process be sure to keep an open mind. You may find a few new facts you didn’t know about that will interest you.
Next, try to draw something every day. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just start out doodling. Yes this will seem like it’s too much effort at first. But think of it this way, every time you try something new it is an effort. Yes it will seem impossible at times. But the longer you keep at it the easier it will become. Just like every thing new you try in your life.
Speaking of new things, when was the last time you were out of your comport zone? Going to different Places often help broaden perspectives. Try going to a new neighborhood or even going to a museum for the first time. But don’t stop with these examples. Keep trying new things, think outside the box. Staying inside the box only limits the creative process.
Another creative thing you can try is photography. Get your camera out and start shooting. These don’t need to be anything spectacular. Don’t worry about capturing an award winning photo, yet. Just experiment and see what you can come up with. Start out small and work your way up.
Finally, just try to open up and talk to people you meet at the store or some other event. You can learn all kinds of interesting things by talking to people. Keep a journal of what you learn from each person. They may have an interesting story to tell. Then with all your journal entries, who knows, you could write your first book! Get Creative!

This YouTube video is a nice reminder to celebrate being alive each day, be grateful for what we have already in our lives and to be really excited for our own future, as we have the opportunity to create the life we desire. Go for it!!!!!
The Power Of Imagination
The power of imagination is the most powerful tool you can use to help you create the life you desire. The best part is that it is free and anyone can utilize it. You can also learn to have fun with it as you create your life in your mind and watch it become a reality.
We all used the power of imagination when we were children; but for some reason we stopped utilizing it when we were told by our parents or society “to get real, we can not do that.”
As children we tend to think we can be do have anything we want. Ask any child and they will give you a response like:
they want to go to the moon
they want to become the president
they want to play in the NFL
they want to race cars
they want to live abroad
Whatever they tell you; they use their power of imagination to think about what they want to be do have.
The cool thing is you can use the techniques taught in personal development combined with the power of imagination to begin thinking about what you would like to attract in your life.
Personal development teaches us how we have control over our lives; we can not blame anyone else for anything. Even though sometimes we would love to blame others for things that are not going right in our lives.
It is your job to find out where your passion is, then begin seeing yourself in that situation and the more you visualize yourself in that situation you desire you will begin attracting it to you.
This will work for you in both positive and negative situations. The more you utilize the power of imagination for things you do not desire, those things are drawn to you. So your job is to focus your attention and energy on the things that make you happy and take your mind off of things that do not make you happy or things you do not wish to experience.
So how can you begin to utilize this powerful tool to attract all the good to you?
1.) Read as much and learn about personal development and what it entails. After all this is the first step to begin taking control of your life and realizing that you have no one to blame but yourself for your life.
2.) Do not just read the information; after all anyone can read the information on personal development. If you do not take action and begin utilizing the power of the imagination then how can you expect things to be any different for you? It will work when it becomes a habit and you learn to utilize it on a daily basis.
3.) Patience. We live in a society where people expect things to happen overnight. Once you begin putting everything into action it does take time for everything to manifest. However believe that it is manifesting and begin acting and believing like it already has.
In order for anything to work in our lives, it must become a habit that we do on a daily basis, you too can begin to use the power of imagination to attract all the good you desire.
So take the time today to sit down and figure out what your goals are and what you expect from life. As you begin to figure it out begin envisioning yourself in the positive situation and be sure to keep your mind off of the negative.
Imagination is the key to living the life of your dreams. So it will benefit you to find out how to utilize it and make the most of it.
