Creative Living - Part Three

By Rev. Fr. Shyjan Kuriakose

2. Power of Desire

This term can also be defined in a similar manner as Will Power. It is our earnest efforts to move or work according our positive desires.

We have to climb a cycle to learn cycling. We have to learn well to pass an examination. These two examples explain the captioned term. The two actions are the turn out of the desire to learn cycling and pass examination and also we can define it as the creative responses to the desire.

3. Better Targets

We all know that fishing is to done in waters which have fish and in a foot ball match, goal to be shot into the posts. God has given immense and unlimited abilities and many talents to all people. Let us look into ourselves; only those who appreciate himself will be appreciated by others. You too have talents. If you hate yourselves; you also will be hated (by others).

You must try to bring out the talents and abilities according to your powers. Meantime do not forget to consider your in-genuinity and circumstances.

4. Nourish Self confidence

Do not let the temporary failures of the day to day life to weaken or discourage your heart. Is there anyone who has not fallen while learning cycling? How many times the young bird does fall before it really flies well? How can we learn swimming by standing on the ground?

Do nourish the confidence in your own abilities.

5. Earn Knowledge.

Knowledge is power, and you may never forget that you are a social being. See and learn from and about your own surroundings and also about others. Understand the good qualities in other people. Nourish the good habit of proper reading.
