Cultivating Mind To Its True Capacity-Judge Yourself

With a positive and creative attitude when we plan our day or a task we have multiple questions in our mind .If there is no doubt ,apparently half of the work is done but if there any doubts and you have target to achieve then there is a lot of work required.

Let us take the example of a student who thinks of gaining merits in the examination .The first thing that can disturb him is whether this is possible by his intellectual abilities.

So he should first judge his abilities. The cliff top can not be reached in a day.If he is a person of below average academic proficiency, he should not plan to get perfect grades just because he thought of this one night. I don't believe that he can not get perfect grades but he has to work beyond his capacity. And this "capacity" is not one day's task. So with the existing proficiency he may not attain what he wants just because it was creative and positive.

Let me elaborate with another example .You are a housewife and one fine day your creative juices start flowing and you plan to build a wall hanging .You try with all your might , get the right material ,get the design and you have  visualized where the hanging would look good .But it doesn't come out well. And it may also happen a neighbor of yours has passed by a similar thought and she is able to do it very well.

If you are human you will certainly start comparing.

As the days pass you may be wearing down your mind with the thoughts of being incapable. Then you must ask yourself few questions.

Do you have some experience of woodwork architecture?

Did you take some advice from any of the carpenters?

Have revised school geometry and mensuration?

These questions are not valid for a person who is abreast with the art one wants to pursue and experiment.

Certainly if your answer is "NO" or ‘partially YES" then you should reward yourself and consider your first creation as masterpiece. Why not? It is a thing which is created with so much of aspirations and hope and above all it meant to decorate your house which will generate a positive energy when ever you will give it a glance.

Slowly and steadily if you build few more artifacts ,take help of carpenters if you are not able to get the idea of dimensions and exact way of piecing and joining ,you will certainly develop an edge and you will improve .

One thing I would like to emphasise over here is "stop comparisons".There is one eternal truth that God has made all people different with different situations and different potentials.

In no case one should  compare oneself with other .The motive of doing  things should never be to get an extra praise as compared to others.The thought of this kind is insane in itself as it will render you useless some or the other day .You are not following "positive creativity".
