Magical abilities

Some years ago I found an announcement in the newspaper for right brain drawing training.

I am not a big visual artist, drawings I have made in my life did not reflect reality, they were just abstract masterpieces, that for sure in modern art would find their place.

What was interesting that had to forget all about I knew and thought about drawing. Had to switch my brain working and begin something new.

I was amazed when I just met my artist in me. Little by little drawings got conture and turn out a very vivid reflection of reality.

In these days, while one of my dreams were fulfilled, that I succeeded to draw what I wanted and that really looked like something, I learned flexibility.

In our lives are just used with our patterns, those well known and exercised behaviours that lead to specific results, we already know what the outcome would be, then all of a sudden we face a situation, when well established plans, behaviors, attitudes are not working anymore.

We are stuck and because we are not brave enough, while having low self-esteem, to try something else, we are frightened by imaginary possible outcomes, reactions, others' opinions.

Yep, in these cases we would need to step out our comfort zones and try something new, forget our patterns, fight our negative believes and construct new patterns, accepting that all through our lives we are learning, trying new perspectives, taking actions and testing them.

They might not work all the time, but then we can change something in our plan or course of action and test again, and again and refine till we get the desired results.

First step is taking the initiative, like me, when I took a chance to learn how to draw, even though I was not sure in the outcome, but I gave a chance and succeeded. Flexibility, perseverence, hard work and belief were those strenghts that helped me and help me whenever I face a problematic situation.

I am not saying, that everything is possible, as there are some uncontrollables, but regarding our self-development, we are those who set limits.

Go for it and set your mind!
