Adding meaning and interest to your life is surely one of the most important things that you can do for yourself. And it isn’t all that difficult either.
If you’re feeling dull and stale, an absorbing new hobby can be just the thing to bring new light into your life.
My own way of adding that spark of interest involves handwriting analysis – which is a not only a fascinating interest but also an amazing learning experience.
It also makes a wonderful hobby. You can collect the handwriting samples of the rich and famous, of historical characters or of your own ancestors. From their handwritings alone you’ll be able to discover so much about their personalities that it will amaze you.

Down with scraped content – those bits and pieces of text automatically swiped from other people’s articles by some clever piece of software.
Down with those disconnected sentences that are so meaningless you need a translator to help you understand them.
Who wants to plough through reams of inferior stuff whose only purpose it is to confuse the search engines?
Many PLR articles too, are mostly poorly written rejects that their authors are too embarrassed to own publicly.
Bloggers often find it difficult to update their blogs with fresh content on a regular basis. Of course it’s difficult and of course, as bloggers, we’re all game for a short cut here and there. But blogging is a craft and it’s a creative one at that.

The entire universe is shot through with elements of creation and destruction, with making and breaking, with living and dying.
And in the continuous interaction between life and death the destruction of the old brings forth the birth of the new.
For without destruction there would be no creation. Without death there would be no life.
Together, creation and destruction form the complete picture of life in all its nobility and ephemeral beauty.
We would not look at the fragile beauty of a rose with such poignancy if we thought that it would last forever.
Its beauty is enriched by its evanescent moment in time; its loveliness enhanced because we know it will decay.
The beauty of a sunset or the loveliness of a rainbow would be diminished if we thought they would last forever.
And life is more poignant because it is fleeting like a beautiful butterfly on a summer’s day.

You may disagree with me but I think that perfectionism can ruin creativity. I’ve seen it happen many times.
In a way, perfectionism is the fear of making mistakes. It’s a fear of failure.
For example, what is writer’s block if not a form of perfectionism where you get paralyzed because you are too afraid to make a mistake?
Mistakes are an important part of the creative process. If you want to create something you have to be prepared to make mistakes and stick your neck out. Creativity is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the bold and brave in spirit!
If you are interested in understanding people, handwriting analysis is one of the most fascinating hobbies you could ever cultivate. It will lift your understanding of people to a whole new level.
We’ve all come across people who hide behind a facade of pretense and whose real personalities are completely camouflaged. With handwriting analysis you can remove the mask in minutes.
Family members, friends, competitors and even rivals will be easier to understand. Not only will it help you to understand the people nearest and dearest to you, you will also be able to see into the characters of those not so dear to you!
When you study someone’s handwriting you are not only looking at the written page. You are delving into a real live person’s feelings, motives and behaviour.

Are creative thinkers truly fearless people?
In most cases, yes! They aren’t deterred by public opinion and they aren’t scared of flouting convention.
Convention is a stifler. It kills creativity and no creative person can function in a restrictive environment.
As a creative thinker you have to be willing to kick over the traces. To be able to challenge well-established boundaries you cannot concern yourself with what other people think.
To break new ground you have to be able to think freely. And to create new ideas without worrying about maintaining the old conventions you have to be fearless.
