We need to sort out or thoughts and worries, things that way down our spirit, and see which ones can be removed right away. My peppermint plants in the garden grow much better when I remove the weeds around which are choking it.

The choice is yours, whether good or bad. Cause always has an effect.

Questions. How many questions do you ask yourself on a daily basis? What are those questions about? Life, self, being, uncertainty? Is it all worth it? Do you know if those answers are even worth it? Maybe they are, maybe they're not. But there's one thing I'm certain about... The moment of stillness.. The moment of bliss you get when you're in-sync with yourself. That moment could last for a minute or even a second. But that feeling, the feeling of harmony, those are the moments that all creation shows you that you exist in a marvelous, magnificent universe.

sometimes i wonder if people ever get tired of putting on a facade each and everyday, just to please others.

Self Portrait. The rebellious ones only want to be free.

Not held back by rules and regulations, always ready to create.

Expanding realities and dreams.

The art of being a creative genius

How does one come to a clear definition of being a creative genius , do we look through history for all the individuals that have had a high level of intelligence or brilliance in genres of originality or knowledge in their chosen fields? Or should we page through the latest magazine or trending individual on the internet to measure up our creative genius. Similarly like beauty being a creative genuine doesn’t have a single definition. For now let’s define the person you see in the mirror as a creative genius. Genius is potential and that is exactly what you have.

1. Connection with your creative self We’ve often heard of the saying you are what you think, it is evident that what we think eventually materializes. Connecting with our creative self and declaring ourselves as creative geniuses may be difficult at first, however with time we will notice how we view ourselves shapes the world around us. As an artist you take the role of creator , everything that you execute is your creation and by connecting with yourself you’re able to execute all the amazing work that has resides within you.

“ how often even before we began we declare a task impossible and how often have we constructed a picture of ourselves as being inadequate … a great deal depends upon the thought patterns we choose and on the persistence which we affirm them” -Piero Ferrucci

2. Action vs Busyness Action comes from a silent mind , through action we see a clear transformation in our creativity and ourselves. On the other Hand busyness comes with a restless mind and often creates tiredness or a serious burnout. When you’re always busy you cannot hear the voice of your creative urges. Busyness lies at the foot of creative blockage. The difference lies less in the hours spent than it does in the emotional quality of the hours spent.

Being a creative genius is about trusting your own process, taking enough time for new ways , new visions , new dreams and dimensions to be manifested successfully.

3. Fame

Many people think fame is synonymous with success , their need to attain fame creates this “ how does it look to them” syndrome. Fame encourages us to believe “if is hasn’t happened then it will never happen”. The key is really just approving of ourselves and nurturing ourselves because when we are joyfully creative we can let go of our obsession with others and how their doing things.

A genius does not look for a short term win. An act of art needs time to mature judged early , it may be judged incorrectly. As a creator try not to judge yourself instead learn to love yourself and trust yourself even more.

The art of being a creative genius is simply the art of following your intuition.

Synchronicity It's beautiful how nature comes alive and allows all the elements within it shine to their fullest ability without restriction. The flowering of humanity starts with the seed that is within. When the seed within is watered and nurtured with what it really needs, it's grows to it's fullest potential. Photos of : @tebogo-nong

Spot the moon: 
We are moving oceans, moved by the energy of the mother mind, the moon. She knows our deepest fears and our deepest desires. Within all the noise the world brings sometimes there’s the voice that says “you’re here for a reason, walk the path and don’t give in to the noise”. Listen to that voice.
