Lethargy takes toll of creativity


Being creative is a way of life. When we choose a creative way to lead our life, we in turn are choosing to walk on a two edged sword. Creativity demands being mad and being different from the rest of world. Creativity is the end product of inspiration, and when a person is inspired, he is sure to create a masterpiece, which takes a lot of time to decipher.
Being creative demand being able to walk, walk without being tired, because the day you start to feel weary, you begin to roll back against the power of creativity. Creativeness demands freshness, and fresh ideas emerge when a person is able to filter through the stream of ideas coming in his thoughts and presenting his voice through some art portraying his creativity.
But at times in life, people due to their inherent fears and self made weaknesses tend to slow down on their paths and this is when lethargy and laziness starts overpowering a human personality.
Lethargy is a state of mind, not body, and when a person turns lethargic, it’s not his body, which do not let him work, but the flow in his mind, which forces him to never take up an initiative. The lack of initiative is a sign of lethargy. It is never the case that someone is not able to do something, it is just the will to do or not to do something that drives ones ideas and actions.

When a person is of creative mind, which every one of us is, but when a person chooses the path of creativity to move ahead in life, he/she should make it a point to never let the demon of lethargy to overpower himself/herself, if one wants that he should go far on this path.
Creativeness is an act of originality and innovation, and lethargy signifies the stagnant. Two contrasting things when meet can make a person a deadly combination where his/her mind may not be in control of his actions and the thoughts wanting to flow free are not finding the right medium owing to the actions of a human body and soul.   
If you fear falling prey to lethargy but want to preserve your creativity, remember, positivity and a never say never attitude will help you to sail the boat through. When you try to fight a demon, you face a number of difficulties, which would not be easy to overcome, but, never ever give up, that is the key to your sustainability.

Learn to fight hard, learn to fight your fears and learn to push yourself hard, because in the end, only sincere and whole hearted efforts would help you to achieve a mental peace, which one seeks out of his/her creativity.

How corporate professionalism helped me in learning the art of self-appreciation?

It’s been a long while that I wrote something for myself. Though being a full-time content writer, busy in playing with words all day long, who people think of as a word-wizard- never short of something to write, I have, of late, fell short of words to define what I feel about my passion. I started off as a content writer & still, I am that- it’s not that my passion has faded, it is still strong and growing every day, still I sometimes feel I am not doing much for myself. Writing every day for brands and companies- fuelling their aspirations to grow more and more through advertisements, e-mailers, marketing collaterals, etc., I have somehow felt guilty of not helping myself much with my growth journey. But is it my fault… or is it just situational? I am not the type who shifts the blame to professional or personal condition, so I take it upon myself for my mistake. I have not been much serious about my journey, passion and efforts. But through my realization, I came up wit...

On a path to glory

I have been lost before. in a pool of confusions, that delve inside my head. I have been lost before, in a tide of self-doubt, that crept inside my heart.. I have been lost before, in the guilt of underperforming I have been lost before, at nights with unstoppable mourning Through the years I learned, it does not matter If I am lost, I will surely be found And if no one finds me, I myself will one day walk past this maze To do something worthwhile and to amaze All those who laughed at the time when I was lost All those who created a sense of self-doubt, who made me face this ghost I have learned that the fears are just inside All we have is a beautiful world with opportunities, that is real and is outside So, I rise again from this pool of confusion, Yes I rise again from this guilt and emotion, I know am hard at heart when it comes to the topic of self-achievement But what is an achievement, without a little attitude All I want you is to kno...

Yuun to mein - Hindi Poem

After days of being in solitude and calm, my mind took inspiration from these famous lines and my pen started working to complete a piece in the form of a poem.  ' Yuun to mein tanhaa hi tha safar mein Log judte gye karwaan banta gya….' Kuch mili apni si shaksiyatein Aur unke hi sahare me aage bdhta gaya… Sikha mene bahut iss safar mein… Naa jaane kyu fir bhi me pichadta gya… Jo sath nibhate chale sang mere… Unse hi me zindagi jeena sikhta gya… Ek aasra mil sa gya tha uss karvaan ki chaav mein Aisa laga jaise hu mein samundar ko cheerti naav mein Jaana tha naa mene tab Ki ye karvaan bhi chhalava sa hai Is kaarvaan ka sahara sabko hai Par apna yha koi na hai Khud par shaq to kabhi na tha Kabiliyat par ek anjana sa yakin sat ha Koshish ko apni kamm na karunga Apni manzil ko rahunga me dhundhta Kal ko ye kaarvaan rahe na rahe sang mere Manzil ko apni mein paake rahunga Koi ho ya na ho sang sath dene ko Sukoon ki chaav me ek...
