DEVELOP A CREATIVE MIND

capable of engaging in introspection, reassessing his work and taking a U-turn in his life. Then he can make a new choice for himself. A creative mind is an active mind which is in a position to take new decisions every moment. The ideal that Bertrand Russell had set as his goal was not achievable. Had Russell been a creative mind, he would have re-examined his goal and made a new choice. This would have made his life meaningful once again. Experience shows that people generally lack creative thinking. The reason for this is people mostly do not consciously plan their activities. Instead they work out of habit. Even if they begin their work by conscious planning, they slowly become habitual to it and start working unconsciously. Such a person cannot take a new decision in life. He will live as a prisoner of his habits, although what is right is for him to have a living mind. Man should do everything as a result of conscious planning. A conscious plan will have the right goal and right goals will be fulfilled. When goals are fulfilled there is no room for frustration. And in case the goal is not right, his creative mind will take a new decision and reset his priorities. Habit is a general term. It covers almost all human activities, from becoming addicted to wine to being part of politics—everything comes under its purview. Frustration is only for those who do things habitually. Those who do things by way of conscious planning can never become victims of frustration. o Power In this world, one has power only over oneself. No one has any power over any other individual.
