Importance of showing gratitude in life
Do you hear more whining, blaming, condemning, and judging among your friends, coworkers, or family members, or even from yourself? Or do you hear people expressing gratitude for things and people in their lives? Do you like to convey gratitude, joy, and goodwill, or do you prefer to add to your own or others' despair and gloom? Appreciation is extremely important in our lives, and we must acquire this trait.

5 Things That Made Me A Better Writer
I had been a closeted writer for years. Writing in secret, I pored over my Word document for months at a time, watching that word count steadily climb, and told no-one about it-- save my closest friends. The last thing I wanted was to tell someone I was writing a book and have nothing come of it; I'd be degected and ashamed of my unaccomplishment. If I waited until I had "something to show for it," surely that would be better.

Building a business around your hobby, passion, or craft.
There is one thing that I love to do more than anything else. It is designing consumer products. Lately, I have been focusing on designing small household products. My designs to date are simple. Later, design plans will include embedded software and mechanical parts. Two recent designs were phone and tablet holders. With my designs, I am not inventing anything new. I am just taking an existing idea and refactoring it with my creative touch. What I have been making could be considered art but let us not debate that now. So, why do I love designing as I do? The reason is simple, “designing makes me feel good.”

How hard can it be?
When I’m in full flight, when I’m waxing lyrical, holding court or speaking passionately about any particular subject, it is usually about making something. I am a crafter, a maker, someone who will have a go at pretty much anything that looks interesting or difficult. As a kid I used to make jewellery from copper wire stripped out of the electrical cable offcuts discarded by the sparkies who worked on our house. At the age of 10 my sisters would “encourage” me to make scones for them. As a teenager I found a cookbook for sweets and would boil sugar for taffy and caramels. I made my own clothes, including a coat and school uniforms.

Creativity is a grand adventure. Be the best you can be, in all that you pursue!
How do you find inspiration in the darkness of the night? When all hope seems to fade into darkness, the night seems prolonged, and the morning star doesn’t arise in your heart? When the shadows of uncertainty continue to linger, and doubt gains a foothold into your mind. What torch do you use to bring revelation towards your path forward, a fire of inspiration to the very depths of your heart? In the darkest times of life, when hope seems nothing more than a fool's pursuit, and the world seems a darker place, it can be difficult to stir hope. Seemingly nigh impossible!

I Tried These 3 Ways that Helped me to 'Overcome Procrastination.'
Hey, guys, today, we're going to talk about laziness, procrastination, and I want to tell you that I'm going through a period of my life where I'm the least productive. If I take 25 years that I've lived already, I think this is the most unproductive time, which might seem different from your perspective because you see me posting stories. But the thing is, to post 1 story on Medium takes me maybe like 30 or 40 minutes. But the rest of the day, I could be, you know, sitting and thinking that I don't want to do anything. There's no motivation to do anything, and I know what's going on in my life. So I know why this is happening, and I know that they're going to go away eventually.

Can't Be Bothered
Living in such a fast paced and demanding world, it's no wonder that we so often feel tired, exhausted, and lethargic. Life is just all go, go, go, that when any precious moment of peace and relaxation actually presents itself, we are very quick to take advantage of it. When that rare sleep in opportunity comes around, we take it. When that opportunity to just relax on the couch and watch Netflix or television comes around, we take it. When that opportunity comes around, to just sit down and rest for a few minutes, giving us some time to browse through social media on our phone, we take it. When that opportunity of being invited out for a coffee, or a night out with friends, comes around, we take it. After all, is there any problem with just relaxing for a while, or watching a bit of television, or catching up on some sleep, or spending time with our friends? Unwinding and resting for a few moments is actually a good thing, especially if we can use that time for some quiet meditation perhaps, or maybe to catch up on some of that much needed sleep that we too often deprive ourselves of. The problem is when we start to abuse this time, and make it habitual. We allow it to start eating into the time we need to be productive, and be getting stuck into the actions that are working towards our goals. Scaling it back even further though, it goes back to what I was talking about yesterday, in how we spend excessive time focusing on the less important aspects of life, rather than on our priorities. We lack balance in our life. We find ourselves spending an excessive amount of time at work, at our job, because we are so fixed in our focus on earning a living, that we totally forget to actually make a life for ourselves. The time we spend at our job, further compounded by the amount of time we spend commuting to and from work, many of us actually are losing 12 of the 24 hours that we have in the day. All of a sudden, we then feel pressured to try and cram other tasks and activities into the remainder of our day, such as making meals, spending time with our family, and staying on top of the maintenance and cleaning of the house we live in. We find ourselves sacrificing sleep in order to keep our head above water, which becomes detrimental to our health, and that's why we ultimately find ourselves feeling tired, exhausted, and lethargic all the time. It's no wonder we take advantage of any moment of peace and quiet to ourselves. But where's the time for our goals, and working on designing the life we desire?

How To Be Creative Like Picasso
The home office is here to stay, at least for many, and although there are hundreds of advantages of being able to work from home, such as being able to take breaks to play with your cat, it can become monotonous very easily. Especially if you are a freelancer or if your work requires creativity, like being a designer, or a blogger.
