In the beginning you get excited at the thought of achieving goals you’ve set for yourself. You start writing them down, writing out a plan, and listing out habits to adopt. Then after a couple of months, a year, or a few years, your motivation hits the ground like a pile of bricks. All of sudden you’re no longer motivated enough to keep pursuing it. If your goals aren’t big enough you won’t be excited enough to pursue them. Some people have goals, but they’re so lousy that they’re unexciting. A lot of us would LOVE to be a millionaire, yet aren’t willing to do the work. Why? Because of a lack of strong reasons. If the reason you want to succeed isn’t meaningful enough, your motivation won’t last. Simply wanting something is not enough. Reaching your goals is no one else’s responsibility but your own. Goals written down on a piece of paper are a great idea, but if you don’t go out there and take action, then what’s the point! You must do everything you can to get what you want. Don’t know how to get started? Creator Academy has many transformational programmes that can help you identify your goals, and get started on a plan for achieving them. Begin by taking small steps consistently over time and it will eventually lead you to achieving your dreams.

First impressions are extremely important, a key component of which is good Personal Grooming. The way you look and carry yourself affects the way you are perceived and subsequently dictates how most people will engage with you. A lack in this area may cause you to be looked down upon and generally conveys a poor image. As an individual living and working in today’s highly complex and competitive society, you must recognize and understand the impact your appearance communicates to others. While it is important to like what you wear and the way you look, it is more important to understand why or why not and specifically how this affects you, others and your life and the achievement of your goals.

How you look can be used to exude confidence, inspire trust, and impacts the working relationships that you build every day. Job opportunities, relationship possibilities, and invitations to parties and other social events are all inextricably linked to how you present yourself to the world.

Negative thoughts and ideas are the biggest threat to personal happiness, and can drain you of energy and motivation. The more you give in to your negative thoughts however, the stronger they become. It’s analogous to a snowball rolling down a hill. As the snowball rolls down, it gathers snow from the ground, getting bigger and bigger.

Therefore, when something happens, whether good or bad, it has a domino effect on our state of mind and well-being. The way we deal and respond to these occurrences whether good or bad, directly affects everything else we do during the day. This is because how we think, greatly impacts our personality and is reflected in how we engage and interact with others.

Many people don’t realize that having critical thinking skills does not mean thinking critically of themselves or others. To be a critical thinker means using rationality and evidence in problem-solving and decision-making. Unfortunately, that’s NOT what critical thinking is about. In fact, emotional reactivity couldn’t be more opposite from this valuable and essential life skill. Critical thinking is a way of processing information based on evidence and what we know to be true. It’s difficult to be or become a critical thinker if you’re afraid of making mistakes. The best thinkers are those who take ideas out on a test drive and see how they do. How different the world would be if we all practiced critical thinking skills. Barring that happening, it is incumbent upon each of us to bone up on these rational, intellectual skills so that we can tell fact from fiction – to make this world a better place for ourselves, and for those who will inherit it when we are gone. Creator Academy has a range of innovative skills development and training programmes that include courses focused on improving your memory as well as mental acuity. Make sure that you have the right tools and skillset to give yourself the edge.

Whether you are starting a new job, exploring a new relationship, or trying a new activity, understanding your mindset is essential in helping you to navigate any challenges with success. Even the word ‘challenge’ can be scary to some people. But challenges allow you to test your limits. They’re also an opportunity for learning and growth. Try to forget about the outcome and enjoy the experience. One of the key ways to improve your mindset is to first understand it. Whatever you are about to take on, first take note of what you are telling yourself about this challenge. While you can use your breath and your thoughts to prepare yourself for any challenge, it’s important to acknowledge any fears you may have. No matter what your challenge, chances are, you are not the first person to face it. Think back to a previous problem you solved with the help of your family, friends, or even with the assistance of an online community. Taking the first smallest step and evaluating how you feel as you go, will help you to navigate any challenge in life. Nothing will occur until you take action. Taking small steps will cause you to break down any challenge into manageable pieces. It will also help build your confidence as you accomplish each step; thereby improving your mindset.

By consciously deciding to think positive thoughts and spread positivity, you will find that many things in life will start going your way.
To focus on the process or your effort is more empowering than a fleeting stab at a win. After all, we are the only ones who know what effort we give to a project or goal. That’s where progress is made and lost, and where we have to self-manage to get to an objective. That’s blood-and-guts self-growth that lasts way past any goal. Many goals require new behaviours, habits, and focus. To focus on the process means becoming open to feedback; whereas focusing on the goal simply points out the fact the goal might be just as far away, or farther, despite many excellent changes in behaviour. Progress is a lonely, bitter road, especially if we wait to achieve the goal before celebrating and acknowledging the strides it takes to travel it. It also robs us of valuable feedback. Focus on the process, not just your destination. Self-growth isn’t just a reward of effort – it’s the entire point. At the core of many of the courses at Creator Academy, are practical everyday strategies and techniques that can help you build your ability to focus and maintain your drive to complete whatever you are working on. We can help you develop the necessary skills to take charge of your life and stay on course to achieve your goals.

Self-love often has negative connotations, but in fact is one of the key pre-requisites for being able to maintain healthy relationships with others. This is because, only when we can accept ourselves and our own flaws, are we able to do the same for another person. To truly be able to love another person as imperfect as they are, we must be able to do the same for ourselves first. Accordingly, if we possess a positive self-image and care about ourselves, we will not accept bad behaviours from the other person or put up with abusive relationships. By loving one’s self unconditionally, you also put less responsibility on the other person in the relationship to dictate your happiness. You become less needy and more independent, which will further allow the other person in the relationship to be and love themselves as well. Learn to love yourself, it’s the first step towards taking control of your life. Creator Academy can help you uncover your true self, and begin the journey to become the person you always wanted to be. Take the first step towards your success story today, it begins with loving and accepting yourself, whoever you are.
Your authenticity can make its mark on not just your creations, but in EVERYTHING you do. It can touch every aspect of your life from your social life to your environment, to even the smallest tasks you undertake. When that happens, life just feels “right”. Like this is what you’re supposed to be doing and how it’s supposed to go. And you truly don’t care about “success” in the worldly sense. If your authenticity manages to get you a lot of money, great. If not, that’s OK too. You still do it anyway because it feels good and you do your best to deliver your true self to others, and sleep well at night, knowing that you’re honouring the only you that will ever exist in the universe and not wasting that precious chance to let that light shine as it’s supposed to. Take some time to think about who you are, what you believe in and what is important to you. Decide that you will never compromise your integrity by trying to be or say or feel something that is not true for you. It’s all about shaping the right mind-set and attitude. If you’re unsure on how to get started, Creator Academy has a range of powerful self-development programs that can help empower you to transform your mind-set to one of success, as well as equip you with effective strategies to change your habits and behaviours. Have the courage to accept yourself as you really are—not as you might be, or as someone else thinks you should be.
