Lefty or Righty?

I'm bit of both, although I still think I'm more default right brain - I still work my lefty too! ;)

So which one is you? Or are you both? :)

Islamic New Year - Muharram 1435 AH

Wishing YOU and YOUR loved ones a blessed, productive and successful year ahead :)

We don't usually 'celebrate' or 'wish' each other when it is the Islamic New Year - but why not?

I agree that our Beloved Prophet (pbuh) and his companions did not wish each other - and I'm not adding a new thing into our deen (before you go all crazy on me) - however in a world where our youth are confused and constantly told 'halaal/haraam' - we need to teach them about our deen - we need to teach them about the Islamic months and their significance. We need to relate to them.

In a world where our fellows humans are constantly harmed or tortured by fellow humans we need to spread some peace love and lots and lots of duas.

So my dua is that Allah (swt) showers His infinite mercy on each of us - puts barakah in our life, time and purifies our intentions and sincerity.

We have one life here on planet Earth and each moment is our only moment.

Make each moment count.

Aspire to inspire before we expire.

Live a life on purpose with purpose.

Do something great for yourself, your family, the Ummah of Rasool-Allah and the entire humanity.

Be Creative. Be Passionate. Be on Purpose.

Creative Genius Mindset!

So, I'm a firm believer that each and every one of us is a genius - in our own special and unique way.

I'm also a firm believer that we are all creative - again in our own unique and special way.

Now check out this map and study it and reflect on it and get excited and let your creative juices flow.

I know that somewhere on this map you will find a piece of you.

And if you want to go all out and unleash the genius within - then go ahead - study this map, visualise you doing what you love doing or want to do, say bismillah and become the creative you that is hidden deep within! :)

Be Inspired!

To be in your true creative flow and to allow those juices to run wild you need to be inspired.

So where the heck do you get inspiration to be creative?

Well, inspiration is all around us - all we need to really do is, look!

Firstly - give yourself permission to 'be creative'.

In last weeks post 'Unleash the Creativeness within You!' we looked at this in depth.

Once you have given yourself that permission you will automatically expand your vision and horizon and everything you look and see will have a new twist to it - a creative twist!

So go ahead, give yourself that permission and see how you get inspired - even from the smallest thing and your creative juices will instantly flow!

Comment below and let me know what inspires your creativeness.

If you want to work on some joint creative projects, showcase your work/talent or if there is something specific you want me to cover in these posts then email me on 'turboflowacademy@mail.com as i created this Academy for YOU! :)

Unleash the Creativeness within YOU!

I get many people say to me; '...But, I'm not creative like you!'

And you know what I would say to those I think are the 'real creative' people - yep you guessed it, I would say; '...But, I'm not creative like you!'

So my question is, how do YOU define creativity? What does creativity mean to you?

I think we all have a different definition of creativity.

My creativeness may not be to the standard of someone with a creativity degree however I love all things creative. I love having the freedom of dreaming up dreams and ideas.

I think that many times in life - and usually it goes back to childhood - we get put down by those whom we look up to for support and if they say something negative we stop and don't try again. Then we get into the 'stuck-mode' where before we even try we say 'I can't!'.

And I always say that as soon as we say 'I Can't!' we build an invisible wall around us and nothing can break it expect our own thought pattern.

Creativity is what it is to you - even if that means re-arranging the home furniture - now that is creative. How? Well, simply put you thought of the concept, the idea in your head and how it should look and then you went ahead and re-arranged the room according to that.

Simple.

And you know something, real and true creative souls won't judge your creativity or put you down - they will in fact encourage you and appreciate your unique talent.

Creativity is just that - unique to each one of us.

As a creative mentor and coach I ask my clients to give themselves permission to dream dreams and see how they want it to be. Then put it on to the paper and play with it. Grab some crayons and colour away.

I believe everyone is creative in one way or another. You are reading this and I know that you have creativity in you. This could be in the form of drawings, writings, paintings, decorating, heck just doing whatever YOU believe and feel is creative for you.

Today why not explore your inner creativeness. Give yourself permission to let your creative juices flow. Just be you. I believe in you. Try it and see the awesome difference it makes in your life. Unleash the creativeness within YOU!

Let me know what creativity inspires and motivates you or what your definition of creativity is. :)
