Chapter 5: How To Sustain The Manifestations Of Your Individual Creativity

by Nelson Tan

Socrates famously said, “He who wants to move the world must first move himself.” Someone else also said, “For things to change, I must change.” Almost all self-development books have their text based on this foundation which spoke of human initiative from the inside out. For a person to change his destiny and his world and influence the people around him (remember, you can’t change people…only yourself), he and no one else must take control and activate the special keys that manifest in his wonderful mind. This requires the person to become a master instead of a slave. Passivity and reactions will never put the person in the lead. Taking charge demands a person of his courage, a willing spirit, a proactive attitude and pro-actions. A business owner who must make the world feel glad of paying him his worth can only surmount all his energy to do immediately and according to plan. Let yourself blossom! Let yourself flourish! Take yourself to the next level of responsibility so that you can achieve greater heights by accomplishing nobler tasks.

This One Word Can Make YOU Rich And Fulfill All Your Dreams And Desires In Life, Even If You Are Not ‘Focused’!

The question “How to sustain the manifestations of your individual creativity?” has an answer in a 10-letter word that forever separates the human civilization between 5% and 95%. ‘Goals’ or ‘Passion’ are not exactly the words to look at because they mainly denote the bright spark in the beginning. ‘Wealth’ is not the point, because it is the end result you never begin with. ‘Focus’ has a meaning associated with ‘short-term’, in that you pay all your attention into the moment of doing ONE thing. Once that thing is completed, it’s time to change ‘focus’.

This 10-letter word is about the ‘long-term’ and you can’t change it as frequently as you change ‘focus’. It won’t cost you your attention, but it can cost you your WHOLE LIFE.

For centuries, a great many men and women searched high and low for this separator of human civilization. The irony is that even if they, on their deathbeds, thought they ultimately failed to find the answer, it was already proven in their actions, because they have put their whole lives on the line for this single-minded purpose. All they need is someone else to point out the answer because they couldn’t see it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you happened to be married for 20, even 30-odd years, have you ever wondered how your wedding ring got stuck around your finger? Or do you need someone outside of you to tell you how much you have been blessed with a family of your own when you don’t even know it? By all objective standards, you are truly blessed because of this 10-letter word…

COMMITMENT! (Read deep into the Greatest Secret here.)

Preparing Your Commitment Statement

And so, in order to establish the foundation for human initiative from inside out, decide today that you are going to put yourself in utmost commitment to complete the mission and write your declaration down on paper or have a friend hold you accountable for it.

This is how you write a commitment statement to yourself. It need not always be a business goal. It can be about mending a relationship, improving oneself, an affirmation, etc. It must contain a specific objective, the kind of action needed to complete the objective (the exact practical action is the solution, which you may not have an idea about now. ‘Action’ here means a certain ‘intention’ e.g. to solve, to seek help, to learn, to accumulate resources etc.), the dateline and the definition of the result desired out of completion.

An example would be: “I must reach a consistent income level of $5,000 per month by 16 Aug 2005 and within this next 7 months, my online business must gather and maintain momentum for me to reach that income level.”

Once you are done, tape the paper to a wall in your office so that when you glance at it ‘accidentally’, it can remind you from time to time especially when you are least aware of your commitment.
