>so you don't need to measure up your work or achievements with another person before you get fulfilled

I see myself agreeing 100% with your line of thoughts on this one. I noticed a lot of *beef* or envy if you may, for no reason. Even here on steemit, I hear the old tired song of unity. It would be a mirage if people still think their happiness is based on using other's progress or lack of, as a yardstick. I am 100% Nigerian; I have no camp. I try to do my own things my own way, and also not to please everybody as that is an impossible task. The only person I compete with is me. Yeah, I always try to be the best of me, to beat the yesterday's me. Not the next guy, I really do not use the next guy's accomplishment for anything. 

People spend their time on things that do not matter, thinking up plots, scheming, when they could use the time to be a better them.

Keep steeming hard and see you in Greensville; where there are no shortage of greens :)

So motivational and inspiring thanks for sharing

Your motivation is really useful for my life

This is good text... " **It is the ability to know how to start with what you have.** " ..... I use the same principle in my head as I am doing the pictures and use this platform here. Very good text, and  I go and read one more time all this :)

Yeah, great, especially change your dream into a plan, without a plan you can dream a long time. 
Love yourself, believe in yourself, follow your intuition and your dreams, make plans, set goals.

Now I am here again. 
Getting motivated over and over again

Motivation is good @ogoowinner

> Show me what you have done with what you have, then I'll believe you can do more with what you expect.


This is bomb,when you ask people why they havent made it or achieved that dream,they claim they are waiting for the required fund or contact but as you said,making do with what you have should be the very first move and will drive you to that dream

Great post :)

Love the motivation and the message. On that note, this platform we're on right now is probably a good start for us to use what we have to achieve a long term goal of us down the road.

I like to believe that if you like something and put your time and energy in it is almost impossible to fail. A short definition of success is change, of yourself and your way of seeing things and understanding people.

Everyone start from the bottom and everyone sees a dream and everyone starts their steps too but to reach the destination it takes a extra effort which others can't get upto to be successful enough your patience is tested it brakes you in between and sometime we are left with nothing and if we gave up that time we are of no value its better to keep going ...

Excellent I loved what you wrote. your words are very motivating

I am really motivated, something don't just happen we have to make something happen @ogoowinner. Thumbs up

There are some many hurdles to be surmounted for one to really make it. Firstly is the issue of finance. This very crucial one has tied down a lot of people because getting money is mainly futile. With your write up on creative thinking, all you need is within you, you don't have to look elsewhere or go borrowing. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I can start my day with this amazing piece der

All thoughts are no creative until yields expected result or surpass expectations. For every thoughts to be creative require the right resources eg finance. The ability to set the idea into action is what I termed creative.

Motivating and inspiring. Every success for you. following you.

Meeting goals at a set time is important. That's the way I see it also. At that time  I only dreamd. Only since I have set myself concrete goals, I have made progress. I have set a number of book pages to write a week. It's a great feeling when you see that you've done something. The result does not have to be perfect. The main thing is that you have taken the first step. :)

Since writing my novel and building a routine, it has become easier for me to think creatively.

At the beginning, I also did not know what my story was going to be and now, many months later, I suddenly have ideas. At that time I would never have thought that.

Exactly, start with the first step. It's hard to move a train, but when it starts, it's not going to stop it. It takes much less power to keep up the pace.

Creativity does it. A creative person can make wealth anywhere, anytime and at his own bidding. That's how powerful. Thank you for sharing
