Housekeeping

Life is like housekeeping.

Although creativity and curiosity may be important, only relying on them can lead to a mess.

For such a deed would be virtually dependent on whims, so that actions can become sporadic, inconsistent and therefore disorganised.

To improve this, it would be effective to have a mental attitude similar to that of trying to constantly keep a room tidy and neat.

The accumulation of deeds based on it would gradually generate a situation where one's behaviour, direction and vision become clear, focused and steady.

It will even become easier to achieve what was initially thought to be difficult to achieve.

Housekeeping in life may not sound interesting.

But rather using creativity for it can engender some stimuli that increasingly make life more organised and concrete.

Rather than give everything to squeezing out exciting ideas, it would be useful to allocate some parts of creativity to such a mental activity, which makes much difference.

Work

If it is difficult to start, just start.

And, dare to complete the first draft as quickly as possible.

If the work done is ok, that is fine, and finish off.

If not, revise and refine it until completed.

The key is to create something as one piece of work first of all, even if provisional.

The worst is not to start, lingering and entertaining various thoughts on what to do.

If there is a first draft or a tentative piece, the process will be very much concrete and focused.

There will be a sense of solidity with a clear picture that the goal can be certainly achieved.

This would be the way to get work done in the shortest possible period.

Source

It is possible to reach the real depth of own life.

Once one has reached that point, a solid and unshakable conviction will arise from the core of own self.

Bright, joyful and indomitable life force will penetrate throughout its entire being.

There is no need to be afraid, and all needed is fortitude.

One can then be invincible at this stage.

A piece of work

Even if poor, even if socially unsuccessful, even if nobody understands, just create something that satisfies own life to the heart's content.

Even if there is no friend, through that piece of work, it is possible to make friends with hundreds and thousands of people far into the future.

Facts

Sometimes or often, the reality can be unbearable.

But hold on, keep cool and do what needs to be done.

Create positive outcomes, and keep on doing it.

People may say whatever.

Their minds change into whatever.

The situations and circumstances change in whatever ways.

But facts remain.

So keep creating some kind of outcomes as actual facts.

The facts speak by themselves.

So keep creating actual outcomes whatever people and circumstance may be.

Concreteness

It is no use grumbling.

Think about the source of the complaint and problems.

Try to analyse how they can be eliminated or solved.

Work out concrete and manageable plans for practical actions to achieve the goals.

And just do them.

Don't be trapped in the emotion of despair.

Cool down and keep a clear head.

And take actual steps for the plans.

Uniqueness

In this society, those who can not do like 'everyone else' are often despised.

Most of the time, they are hardly understood.

Despite their precious uniqueness and abilities, they are treated with contempt simply because they are not like majority of others.

People normally judge by appearance - virtually only by what they can see.

They can not understand what they can not see.

They would even refuse to understand what they can not understand.

Pity.

Stifling.

Perhaps, an only way to deal with it is to refine and sophisticate the very uniqueness to the extent that anyone can not refuse to recognize and admit it.

Then, they will realize how unreasonable their deeds of disparagement are.

Remember

Be creative.

Remember natural curiosity that drives the flow of creativity.

Cast away rigid, unnecessary, bureaucratic formality.

Eliminate cunning, coward, stifling thinking.

Just be yourself.

And simply, express it.

Just be true to the natural source of creativity.

And, be invincible in that.
