After watching Raul Cuero's interview about creativity,
I was amazed that someone who had gone through so much could still have such a
positive outlook on life. Despite all the challenges he's faced, he remained
optimistic through it all and lived by several principles that I think we could
all benefit from implementing into our day-to-day lives.
Cuero always tries to look at the bigger picture,
no matter what the situation may be. I think this is a very important lesson to
keep in mind as you truly don't know everyone's story, where they come from, or
how they were raised. If someone says something to offend you or even has a
differing opinion regarding a sensitive subject, realize it could be the nature
of where they're from to think and act the way they do. Bottom line, try
not to take things so personally and hold grudges.
Another thing Cuero pointed out was everyone's
natural fear of failure. We're so afraid of failing when trying something new
that we end up missing the intensity needed to obtain and complete an
objective. We need to learn to let go of the "what ifs" and take
things as they come. It doesn't matter the size of the task we're faced with,
letting go of our grievances even day to day can do us all some good.
The last thing Cuero mentioned that I find beneficial to remember is
that good things take time, and everything is a process. Patience is something
I for one know I'm lacking, but remembering to take a step back every once in a
while along with a little self-encouragement is enough to get anyone back on
track.
