The Qualities You Need to Find Creative Solutions

If you're feeling stuck and want to make a change, keeping your attention on what is wrong in your world will only add to the chaos because that skewed view of reality is projected by a mindset of dissatisfaction. That mindset is often the very thing that creates your problems in the first place. As you engage with feelings of dissatisfaction, the mind’s ability to connect the dots and view possibilities collapses, resulting in a complete disconnection from your creativity.

Without a heart filled with gratitude, it is next to impossible to fire up your genius or experience grace.

The most difficult aspect of sustaining an attitude of gratitude is overcoming the belief that gratitude is dependent upon something outside yourself. The truth is, it is an internal experience and not an external one. The internal reality impacts the external reality–the more grateful you feel, the less you resist and the more open you become to creative solutions. A grateful mind opens up to opportunities.

Gratitude is a conscious choice made in each moment. Exactly how would one go about creating the mindset of gratitude?

When you feel overwhelmed, upset or irritated remember to:

Accept – it takes far less energy to accept the situation than to resist.


Cherish – bring your attention to things that are important to you.


Transform – by fully cherishing, your heart will become open to the possibility of  transforming the challenging feelings. 

Each one of you will experience transformation in a unique way, perhaps a subtle or a profound feeling of satisfaction or a sudden insight or a creative impulse driving you to an inspired action.
