Creativity Lessons

-----------------------

Creativity - an excellent quality, if we involve, can rise to great heights

Mostly sui-generic, intentionally-evoked, efforts do possible motions.

What is this creativity, how & in what pursuits a person involves self

How much interest is taken in affairs, deeply diving into mind’s layers.

Enormous thirst for precious nectar, but self-tryst, not disturbing others

One’s own play-field, action constantly required, self-directed for cause.

If one is a creative, he can evolve into like Michelangelo or da Vinci

Always in dialogue with self, some big purpose in mind to act upon.

Requires no directions from others, own thirst is more than anything

Just use life’s all gifts, materials already there - assimilation required.

It develops when one challenges self, awakes & stands up for action

Don't remain mediocre in world’s affairs, shape many things by trials.

Not just consumer & ignorant of issues, burdened by false knowledge

It is own working with self, not wishing others come to acknowledge.

A silent working goes on inside, closeted somewhere for Creation

Unlayering all available with self, questioning own belief-system.

Admittedly every step is difficult, a tiring inertia is to be overcome

Enchantment / satisfaction is far off gift, comes only after many toils.

But self-amused world is unique, entry only possible if one is lucky

Checks patience to a great extent, a good idol demands many processes.

Here self is the raw material, and has to go through painful experiences

In this work-in-process, every iota is modified from previous raw stage.

Creativity can be in any activity, erupts when one is serious with any work

Willingly person is inclined to excellence, not perturbed by pains inflicted.

May be a slow pace but denying defeat, failure just means idea didn’t work

With constant struggle, one slowly improves environment to some extent.

When one achieves the ‘flow’ condition, production is auto-possible

But till then pass through many intermediates, at times quite fatiguing.

Many instances are not in way, which one can quite dislike  

But if patient in penances consciously, fine ways soon become visible.

Why to develop prejudices for others, when so much to work with self

But world is not cosy cushion, self-workings may not enthuse others.

They react in own ways, speak expectations with clearly open minds

And not let others remain in illusion, faiths are constantly challenged.

Now there're two worlds - one of self which is hidden & self-actuated

Other largely effects by outside agencies, trying to drag in own realms.

One may be deluged or eloped in self, and creating unusual experience

Man is nothing but his experiences only; thinking is just a its partner.

Serious man finds way easily, unperturbed by outside inconveniences

Knows prime goals, or at least curiosities/motions keep him hopeful.

He can toil, ingress in unusual, can befriend even hard experiences

Knows every gift has a value, getting without payment is just insult.

Creative person develops his workshop, first & foremost tool is mind

Then some paper, pencil or colors, brush or stone/wood, chisels or so.

He always can perceive in the big rock and see image that is hidden

Just chisels away unnecessary extra, idol is already there just to find it.

Long back I had read a book ‘Truth: A History & Guide for the Perplexed’

Author F.F. Armesto says writings are mere permutation-combinations of words.

It means we don’t create a poem or essay, but only experiment with words

With mere jumbling of words already there, writer creates seemingly unusual

Knows internally, nothing is new but just eruptions hitherto sleeping in him.

When you stand up, luck also walks, so action is always gracious

Mind’s working & body’s movements, can make it all possible.

A working man does not age fast, his parts go on rejuvenating

Renewal freshens one, cells get required nourishment - oxygen.

‘Self-demand’ is a good word, one’s foremost field is this ‘life-gift’

Extremely precious, one is to honour it, care even a little bit of it.

But here caring means to use it full, taking out best by processing

Success is when one turns into extra-ordinary,  only then is manhood.

Philosophers, psychologists, thinkers come in world & will continue

They weren't so at births /childhood, but developed selves over periods.

Achievement is just in own field, no one can force other into excellence

Development is by intersts-experiments, not letting self easily satisfied.

So many creations all around us, see how many efforts people put in

Take lessons from them heartily, also be serious in own dispositions.

Excellence is thy field too, only requirement is strong intent & action

This life should fill you with satisfaction, internal is the best working.

Infill ecstasy feelings in self, and arouse near-dear ones too for heights

They should also realize fine lessons, and learn heartily without force.

Elevation is not above ordinary out world, but own low-lying spheres

This realization only paves to action, and one constantly is in progress.

O man! find some ways, or learn lessons also how to become creative

‘How’ is a big word, turn to ‘Wiki how’ or such sites for directions.

Also think of some big project, and decide & know to work upon it

Accomplish things unhesitatingly, gather fine aspects in personality.

Try to remain cheerful & forgiving, but don’t be lax for timely results

Your creations will have good values, but first make self of some value.
