Balancing Life and Maintaining Perspective

Life produces a series of emotions that causes us to make certain decisions. These decisions lead to outcomes that will determine our quality of life and our very destiny. Due to the dynamics of life, a person must balance many roles, responsibilities, and relationships. Some of this is pleasurable and some aspects are painful and it's not always easy keep correct perspective. In my own life, I experience many outside and internal influences vying for my time. Sometimes roles, responsibilities, and relationships get blurred. The only single element that keeps me anchored is my relationship with God. With this relationship kept in place, it makes it much easier to view other elements of life through the proper lens. I think my definition of a successful person is beginning to change. In my opinion, the person who is able to balance the responsibilities, roles, and relationships of life well,while maintaining proper perspective is the successful person.

What's Motivating You

Usually, when people begin a pursuit, our hearts are pure and motives are honorable. We simply love what we do and enjoy the pursuit. Yet as time, experience, and new circumstances mount, our pure hearts and motives dwindle and our reasons behind the pursuit are divided. This is actually quite natural. This can be both good and bad. With this said, it is a good practice to re-evaluate why we do what we do, or better yet, what are the newly developed motives behind our pursuit. Were they altered? Why were they altered? If we get to a place where we are pursuing that original something based off the incorrect principles of: hate, greed, envy, jealousy, bitterness, revenge, etc.,then we have lost our way. More times than not, life's circumstances and what we have negatively encountered from other people during the journey of our pursuit have caused us to alter our original motives. It is a fight to keep our motivations pure and we often deceive ourselves into thinking that they are what they once were. This is not to say that our original motives cannot be expanded. They can and should through wisdom, knowledge, precision, and experience. We should be able to better execute what we do as we move closer to our pursuit. I can't act like I've obtained the art of keeping my motives pure, I'm not even sure If I can. But I am in a place where I evaluate my motives, am brutally honest about them, and realign them with the correct principles that were the most prominent when I began my pursuit.

How to Stay Creative

Creativity is a state of mind that always needs to be nurtured. It can blossom into something beyond your wildest imagination or wither into bitterness depending on how you care for it. In order to stay creative, one must be willing to constantly experience new things, hang around new people, and launch out into the unknown. One must also continue to fill his/her mind with fruitful information because this is food for the creative brain. We can't live free of every negative person (everyone is negative from time to time), but we can limit the amount of time we spend with such people. If you are able to do such, then do it. Continue to work on your ideas, your diligence in this will act as a creative lifeline. If you stop working on your ideas, they will began to collect dust and die all together. Us creative types get bored easily, so it is important to remember that. Instead of trying to move on to the next thing before you finish the current thing, expand upon the current and find a new way to work on it. This does two things. It keeps you focused and set to complete the current task as well as indulges your need to innovate and improve.
