As my son goes off to his first big city job today, I can't help but remember when I first started interviewing for jobs, after college. I remember looking up at those huge skyscrapers, and around at the thousands of other people and feeling really, really small. In such a huge, crowded city, how could I be unique?
Well, we are all unique, special, and (if we keep our creativity) able to make a difference in the world. Yet when you're going through the rounds of interviews, tests, comparisons with other people, it's easy to lapse into self-doubt. So here's how to use your creativity to overcome those feelings.
1) Identify your personal goals. If you have a vision for your life, you will keep a sense of yourself as an individual.
2) Entertain and inform yourself by really perceiving the world around you. Those unique perceptions will ensure that you don't just follow patterns and make assumptions.
3) When you have an insight, take it seriously. Those moments of extraordinary clarity that characterize an insight could open a unique path for your life, or at least blast you out of a rut.
So embrace the new, knowing that you have what it takes to live with creativity, purpose, and individual flair. You are you! And that is wonderful.
