LIU FENG Shui Grand View is the trademark philosophy developed by Grand Master Chi-Jen Liu. From decades of research and experience in feng shui and related studies, he has defined 130 factors that affect who you are.
These factors are energy forces that influence your well-being and success in life. They can affect you at any given time and their strength varies depending on your priorities, stage of life, way of life, and your awareness. The holistic consideration of all of these influential factors, or grand view perspective, gives you the ability to truthfully see yourself within the context of your life.
The 130 factors can be categorized into two types: 1) predestined and 2) adjustable. You have little control over the predestined factors that established the foundation of your life. The adjustable factors are more easily changed and developed to promote your well-being. Because everything is connected, when you improve one factor, you trigger a chain reaction that affects other factors and creates positive change in your life.
This article series on Grand View Feng Shui will reveal the 130 factors so that you can explore how these forces define and affect who you are. Hopefully, this awareness inspires you to make adjustments for the better.
Factor #28: Creativity
Creativity is experienced in a variety of ways on many different levels. Being creative does not mean losing yourself to fantasies and idealism. To be creative is to produce, so being creative also means being productive, and there are many ways to produce and be productive.
People who manage life less creatively may be limited to seeing things within their own scope and are more likely to follow pre-established conventions. When someone’s thought is dominated by logic and performs in a systematic manner it may be hard for them to see “beyond the box.”
On the other hand, people who are in touch with their creativity are able to find new ways of looking at a situation and can solve problems in unprecedented ways. They are generally more open-minded and see things from a wider perspective. Many creative people are naturally inspired and come up with new concepts and innovative ideas more easily than a person who is predominantly logical and pragmatic.
Those who operate in a highly creative way are referred to as “right-brained.” Someone with right-brain dominance sees situations in overall pictures and relies on intuition for making sense out of life. Someone with left-brain dominance relies on analysis and objective reasoning for solutions.
In Daniel Pink’s book, “A Whole New Mind - Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future,” his research shows that the future belongs to the designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers and creative right-brain thinkers. Right-brained people tend to utilize their whole brain more, and because you cannot manufacture creativity, people with this talent will always be in demand. Their jobs cannot be replaced by a computer or out-sourced. People who foster their creativity will advance everything from product design to innovative services.
When a person is in touch with their creative energy they experience a need to release their ideas and tend to come across as expressive. When the expression is positive, that energy can attract like energy, which allows someone to be more progressive in life.
Your level of creativity directly impacts your level of success in life. Be honest in your self-reflections regarding your level of creativity to understand whether or not it is helping you or hindering you in reaching your fullest potential.
