Creative Genius YOU : Challenge Tip 1

Let's Get Creative!!!

To kick start our 2014 on a Creative-High i'm launching our 'Challenge' called  'Creative Genius YOU!'.

I will post weekly tips which are also your weekly challenges to help you step up your creative gear and have more creative fun this year!

The thing is that not everyone reading this blog may be uber-creative - I mean, you may even be shy in unleashing your creative juices, especially if it has been a while that you got creative because life got in the way or if when you tried being creative and your loved ones put you down so you vowed never to get creative again - yet - your creative soul is pushing you to get creative now!

So, for the newbies and for the oldbies - hey, c'mon, we all need inspiration and reminders now and then, I'm going to do a series of weekly creative challenge tips to help you unleash your creative juices.

That's what this Academy is about really.

And i'll tell you that i'm someone who is childhood creative, but life got in the way as I got older, and I have realised that whenever I am around active, creative souls I automatically flow into my creativity.

I start rapping more, drawing more, visualising even more and incorporating my cartoony skills into my personal development workshops.

(If you're new to my world you may actually not be aware of the fact that i'm an entrepreneur with 8 active brands and a studious geek and a legal eagle. You can read my full bio here ---> http://www.webeinspired.com/about.html <--- and follow all my other work too!)

Also, just before I get into today's tip, *Disclaimer Moment*, all challenge tips are tips which you actually already know (and an uber-creative soul may roll their eyes to this post - if you let your ego in the way!) however, we as humans are liable to forget, so we need constant reminders. These tips are basic and already known to mankind but read above why i'm writing these tips (and challenging you) and since i have revealed i'm also a personal development mentor/coach, everything I do involves taking action NOW!

Ready for Challenge Tip 1?

Ge yourself a JOURNAL or NOTEBOOK and Pencil (with rubber) and pen.

Ok, see how easy this is going to be?

If you've got loads of notebooks and pens/pencils lying around your room our house (like I do) then grab them now and resolve to recycle them.

If you honestly have no spare notebooks or journals or pens/pencils lying around then go get them right now - or tomorrow the latest!

Yes, you could use your online pc/laptop/ipad software - but that is for later - advanced stage - we are starting from life's creative basics - therefore a journal/notebook and pen/pencil (with the rubber) are a MUST!

That's it for this week - for the newbies this challenge is enough (but I know that you're creative juices are going to start flowing now and you may be tempted to start doodling or even googling - it's all up to you - but just get your items first!) :)

This is going to be fun - I can feel it already.

Right, get your challenge items ready and then like this post, comment on it and share it on facebook and twitter and wherever else and get people on board.

This is the start of this challenge - and maybe we could even do a course on it - who knows? *Wink, wink!*

See ya next week!

(Ps - you can always email your creativity on 'turboflowacademy@mail.com' and we'll showcase it here!)

Happy New Year - 2014!

Here's from me wishing YOU and your loved ones a very happy, blessed and creative 2014!

May your year be full of success, happiness and creativity and all that your soul desires - ameen!

This 2014 let your creative juices flow! :)

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.
