Have patience... and take time to judge…

The Faithful Dog

There is a legend of a woman who had a faithful dog. This dog was so faithful that the woman could leave her baby with it and go out to attend other matters. She always returned to find the child soundly asleep with the dog faithfully watching over him.

.
One day, something tragic happened. The woman as usual, left the baby in the "hands" of this faithful dog and went out shopping. When she returned, she discovered a rather nasty scene. There was a total mess. The baby's cot was dismantled. His nappies and clothes torn to shreds, with bloodstains all over the bedroom where she had left the child and the dog. Shocked, the woman wailed as she began looking for the baby.

.
Presently, she saw the faithful dog emerging from the under the bed. It was covered with blood and licking its mouth as if it had just finished a delicious meal. The woman went berserk and assumed that the dog had devoured her baby. Without much thought, she clubbed the dog to death.

.

But as she continued searching for the "remains" of her child, she beheld another scene. Close to the bed was her baby who, although lying on the bare floor, was safe. And under the bed, the carcass of a jackal torn to pieces in what must have been a fierce battle between it and the dog which was now dead.

.

Then reality hit the woman, who now began to understand what took place in her absence. The dog fought to protect the baby from the ravenous jackal. It was too late for her now to make amends because in her impatience and anger, she had killed the faithful dog.

.

How often have we misjudged people and torn them to shreds with harsh words and even with serious fight before we have had time to evaluate the situation? A little patience can drastically reduce major life long errors.

Somthing about Creativity....

Intelligence is something we are born with. Creative thinking is a skill that must be learned.
~ Edward de Bono

Creativity works on a very deep level, and is a more automatic process than you may think. Deep analysis of situations is good when faced with problems that require an analytical solution, but often this mode of thinking can block the creative process. When faced with a problem that has a unique solution, some people find it difficult to just let go and let the ideas flow from them.

.
There's a reason all of your greatest ideas happen just before you go to bed or right after you wake up. During these times you are at your most creative, because you are more in tune with your spiritual mind. During this phase, ideas are numerous. So numerous, in fact, that we forget most of them. Unfortunately, the conscious mind doesn't focus the thought patterns in specific directions. Can you imagine what you would be capable of if you focused the power of your most creative dreams, and could wield it with your conscious mind? What would you be able to create if your true mind were unlocked Writer's block would become a thing of the past. Acting would become a breeze. Every idea your mind is screaming to let out would be possible to share with the world.

"The most brilliant thinker of all time from artists to scientists were able to think up incredible things because they were able to tap into this part of their brain"

.

If it sounds incredible, let me explain the way the creative process works. The left brain is often associated with mathematical prowess, logic, language, and the hard sciences. Meanwhile, the right brain is more of a free roaming explorer that likes to explore different places at random, picking up ideas and connecting them to other ideas and tossing ones that don't quite work right over its shoulder. When we dream we are almost entirely focused on the right brain, which is why many images in our dreams don't quite seem to make sense. The left brain is not as active, and rarely fleeces out these illogical ideas. As a result our brains are immersed entirely in the creative process.

.
Our creativity takes the potential of the right brain, and quiets the left brain's activity so that ideas can flow freely and become conscious without automatically being shut down before the conscious mind gets a chance to look at them. The free flow of ideas while in a meditative state is also advantageous, as ideas will not be forgotten like dreams are. The transition between consciousness and sleep is a very drastic process that causes us to forget many great ideas.

“Remember we are a creator. We owe it to the world to share this creativity to better humanity”
