Greetings!
 
This week I am due to present in Xi'an, China at Shaanxi Normal University 
AWAKEN YOUR CREATIVITY AND REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL.
 
terra cotta warriors, Xi'an, China I marvel at how connections between cultures have led to great advances for millenia.  Xi'an was one of the largest and most important cities in the world 5000 years ago, when the first emperor or China had the terracotta army built to protect him in the afterlife. This archealogical wonder was only discovered decades ago, and many people travel to Xi'an, 15 hours by train from Beijing to see it. 
I keep imagining these are warriors fighting for the Good, like battling diseases that can easily be prevented. 
 
The Silk Road brought many people in from Turkey, and as far away as Rome. You can see traces of these ancestors in the faces of the people.
 
I am an American speaking to Chinese college students about American style creativity and innovation.  According to the research of Fred Pryor of Career Track, there are certain traits that creative people share.  Based on those findings, I created affirmations for my book, and will be beginning my talk about these basic traits.
 
See below.
 
Be well,
Janet

The most important trait creative people share

Engineering student at Johns Hopkins University, U.S.A.The most important trait creative people share is the belief that they are creative.
 
You notice the most important trait was NOT , as many people think, that they were geniuses, or child prodigies or blessed (or cursed) with great talent. It's pretty simple.  hey simply think they are creative, so they create!
 
An affirmation is a statement that is positive and is in the present tense.
 
If you would like to awaken your creativity (everyone has this spark) repeat daily to yourself:
 
I believe I am a creative individual.
 
Now imagine how you can apply your creativity to the situations you encounter daily.  If you truly believe you have the power to create what you want in your life, little by little the choices you make will make a huge difference.   It's a scientific fact that you are an original - no one else has every existed or ever will exist on the earth exactly like you with your genes, personality, family story, environment, mind and spirit.   

If you believe you are an individual, worthy of fulfilling your dreams, then life will naturally unfold for you in ways that you desire.
