Creating a Creative World Is Your Call
By:Larry Icabandi Nabiong

Creating your own world means putting your own attitude towards everything around you. It is how you deal with your daily activities, people and the like. Nary stranger can teach you or influence you to whatever attitude you would want to exhibit in a particular situation.

Yes, you are the creator. You can create your own world that caters to your own desire. Nope do not be disillusioned of making a god or what but to think of it, it is like you are god. Yes, you can think of happy thoughts and chances are you would feel bubbly and all. If you think of gloomy things you would feel the blues. Yes, sort of fine tuning yourself to the thoughts you want to absorb.

Liken to a dry sponge when soak to water, it would definitely absorb till it gets wet. Your world would be fill with joyful events when you let happy thoughts enter your subconscious mind by always entertaining positive things that would make you happy, friendly and all.

Feeling positively about your life would definitely resort to making you feel like in a bliss. Many believe in paradise, hell or what but it is just a matter of belief. Believe that you are in hell and it would happen. You would feel all the heat of frictions coming from people around, their problems become yours and more that could send you out of sanity.

However, when you imagine yourself as happy, contented, fulfilled human being chances are you would see the colors of the rainbow as hope to your quest to good living, the raindrops as giving rhythm to your soul, etc. Only then you would appreciate life, even the ugliness of life becomes bearable.

Positive attitude can be a source of strength especially if such a situation of yours calls for your sanity to remain intact. Yes, once you let that sanity fades out and leave you, you would surely be dead, yes, worse than dying-- sans hope, faith and love living is a mere existing.

So build your world positively and see yourself enjoying life despite the odds. Life is just a matter of attitude. It is what you make it. Make one creatively now.
