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. :)

Be The Best!



Work on you and leave the rest coz that day is near when you'll either fail or pass that test - work on becoming the best of creation for the duration you're here - don't fear as God is always near and to Him you're dear as He created you to do good - so don't go round acting like a fool - don't become shaytaan's tool - he'll make you drool over the glitz and glam and get you going crazy but then slam and it'll be over coz it takes only a splitz - a second to either make it or break it - don't fake it but faith it and work on you to change for the better - your deen and your duniya but visioning you akhirah - coz on that Day you'll be alone and it'll be decided - heaven or hell - wake up now and be saved by the bell and don't sell yourself short - it's just a thought but have you reflected on your ways - how do you spend your days - its not too late but wait it can't be delayed the meeting with the angel - his job is to take the souls and our time is written - don't get bitten by the snakes or fakes - they'll deceive you and leave you but only God will receive you - into His heaven above the seven - so focus and become better - forget the hocus pocus it never made anyone better. Now its up to you - to do what's right - yes your future is bright like the lights - ask yourself - do I want to fail or pass in this life for a flight to higher heights - into God's Divine Light...

Ramadan 2012


Ramadan's back - its 2012 - check out ma rhyme and let this message shine...
Keeping it clean, nothing mean, strictly upon Allah's deen
Spreading the truth a peaceful message for you
And some day hoping on Jannah al-Firdaus too
Our time is limited in duniya
Its a gift and its precious too
Forget the hurt, the pain they give you
Know that Allah's promise is true
One day soon this pain will go
You'll be able to easily flow
Through life - its ups and its downs
Its ok don't you frown
We must all go through this - to feel the eternal bliss
Once we make it through those gates - everything will be okay
Make your salah don't be late
Recite the Qur'an and study it too
It will all help decide your ultimate fate
Look for answers within you
Hand your heart over to Allah 
Listen to your soul as it guides you through life
Don't be afraid to look within
Hold on tight to the rope of Allah - it will help you get to Jannah
Keep it clean and keep it pure
On this path to the One we know
Some day we'll all be in Jannah
But to get there we must start today
Make this Ramadan the best you know
Work hard on your ibaadah and don't forget abundant dua
Hold on tight to the rope of Allah!
