Hello...

Spring is a time of new beginnings and thus the chance to become more creative. It is a good time to declutter your cupboards, computer and mind. It is a time to plant new ideas and find better ways of doing things. Some people love a messy desk; others love it clean and tidy. The core of creativity is to look at a task and find more effective ways of confronting it. This means knowing what is important to you, such as real goals, like family, friends or work. However you are more likely to be more creative if you look after your body first, with good sleep, nutritious food and walking. It helps to create rituals and allocate regular time to your task, e.g. I write every morning. Find a project, inject some passion, challenge your assumptions and then seek better solutions.

Be patient, as clarity, knowledge and success doesn't come in a day. Besides you need to invest in lots of courage and persistence to confront the difficulties that surface and pursue your goals, even if others don't believe in your journey.
