How can you be creative in a non-appreciative environment?

Artist Reena Naik

Do you have a reason to jump out of the bed every morning? Do you have a fire within you, which keeps you going? Does the external energies and environment pull you down? Do you often fall sick?

The above questions depict the fight between what is within us and what environment we live in. A country where, on a larger scale, appreciation doesn’t hold much importance in people’s life, staying creative becomes difficult. Being an optimist, I would like to take you through simple ways to survive an environment where appreciation is missing.

  1. IT ALL STARTS FROM YOU – “Law of attraction”, “ You see what you are”, these are simple known sayings and facts, which you can apply, in your daily life. Be positive and show gratitude to every thing you are surrounded with. You shall surely reap the fruits.
  2. REMEMBER, ITS A SLOW PROCESS – It will take time, as cultural change is a slow process. Stick to your beliefs and engage yourself in self-development.
  3. DONT ASK FOR IT – Let people appreciate you with a genuine intention. Asking for it will reduce your value or the value for your work. However, you can give them some indirect clues and see the scope.
  4. SEPARATE BUSINESS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY – If your focus is only on people, who are in your inner circle, and you seek appreciation from them but you are continuously failing, you have to broaden your horizon. They say there is market for everyone., there is audience for each one. Your work will find its audience only if you reach out to a higher number of people.
  5. STAY POSITIVE – Staying positive is easy, as long as we are taking charge of what is happening around us and how it is impacting us from within. If you are waiting for that day to come, when everyone around you will be optimistic and this world will be full of positive vibes only, you are living in a bubble world. The more you will keep your surroundings positive the more creative and successful you will become. The simple way to do this is to self introspect. Apart from getting clarity of what do you want, also get clarity of what you don’t want.

Everyone’s situation, ideology and actions are different. I hope my thoughts will help you in staying positive and explore creativity. This planet needs evolved individuals and lots and lots of creativity.
