Creative Flexibility

Posted on by

For me, the term “Creative Flexibility” refers to the ability to be flexible in a creative manner. Being open to remain flexible can be one of the most valuable acts or decisions one can embody whilst in the pursuit of ultimate freedom, happiness and peace. The fulfillment of true and lasting freedom, happiness and peace should be at the top of everyones main agenda in life; no matter what work you wish to perform or what you want to do in your life; freedom, happiness and peace, is something that we all share in our hearts desire.

Creative flexibility allows one to pursue the goal of freedom, happiness and peace within your desired arena, without being attached to a particular path towards this goal. The significance of what this really implies is monumental. As we pursue all of our main goals in life it is common that we encounter challenges. We all have the choice to either let these challenges rule us, our feelings, our emotions and our actions in a negative manner or we can see them as opportunities for growth in our strengths, abilities, wisdom and experience.

The way we may expect to reach our goals can be quite different from what we hoped or desired, but this is where creative flexibility comes into play at its greatest strength. It is our beliefs, expectations and perceptions that determines how we go about pursuing our ideal. Most people have a set of rigid beliefs, expectations and perceptions which are truly limiting, they can be our worst enemy whilst trying to live our dream life. When we remain open and flexible in our mode of creativity, we will find that changing our beliefs, expectations and perceptions as often as we need can save us from a lot of unnecessary suffering. For example, we can choose to always follow our hearts, and I personally believe this to be the best way, but we must take our minds with us because we need to be able to think about what we truly want and where we want to be. From following my heart I have learned that what I thought I wanted to start with was not what I truly wanted and to come to these conclusions I had to be flexible with what I believed in.

Getting into a habit of decisive thought, speech and action can be a great servant to us, especially if we have learned to consciously change our beliefs, expectations and perceptions. It serves us in our growth towards fully embodying our ultimate dream and vision. We must be open to change our path and direction whilst we actually live our dream because this is a great practice of freedom. To be free we must act free, and to act free we must express and experience our own freedom in every choice we make.

The path which holds the greatest learning and growth is not an easy path to follow, whether we want to be or learn how to become any kind of artist, business person, spiritual leader or any other role in which one can desire to experience. With a better understanding of what creative flexibility is then we can change our beliefs at any moment when they have served their purpose and fulfilled their duties, holding on to certain beliefs for too long can be detrimental to anyones growth, it will lead one to become stagnant at times whilst fighting a constant battle, all just to remain in the same place whilst wondering why we have not moved forward or achieved what we wanted to achieve. The ability to creatively seek new beliefs that will serve us in the next step of our evolution towards reaching our highest desires, will begin to make complete sense. Letting go of old beliefs can be extremely difficult to begin with, especially if you associate them with the only successes we have experienced so far. But, as with all things, the practice of creative flexibility becomes easier and easier. It is a great principle for success; flexibility in our perceptions and beliefs has immeasurable value, literally.

Having said all this I have come to my final point. What one will find as they let go of old beliefs and perceptions is this, they do not completely disappear, much rather, they have become fulfilled. What this really means is this, you are now open to enhance, build upon, deepen and intensify your perceptions.  This is especially true when you already know what your goals, desires and wishes are, and you are already on the path of achieving these. The only case that this will be different, is in the case that you are just setting out and your old beliefs and perceptions have stopped, blocked or denied you of making any progress. In this case your old beliefs will begin to melt away completely as you constructively build new perceptions and beliefs that will allow you to succeed on your desired path.  Just to make this clear once more, if you are already well on your way, your perceptions and beliefs will become fulfilled, enhanced, deepened, heightened and intensified, and with the use of creative flexibility, there is no limit to how far your fulfillment will stretch, or how much your perceptions will enhance, deepen, heighten or intensify, just think about that for a moment, this has significant implications. If however, you are at the beginning, old beliefs will be deconstructed as you move forward and find more confidence, truth and faith in your new beliefs.
