Choice

Creation is initiated by choosing what to create.

In much of life you are told what to create, and the processes, activities and assessments to use.  We make many compromises, in order to get along with others. This is often good but it is not your own creation.

There is a vast difference between choosing to write because you love it or writing because someone said you should, or to fulfill a contract.

The most profound magic of your inner wisdom comes with creations you choose because you want to. They are made out of your love.

Most of us are so conditioned to problem solve and respond to circumstances that we find it difficult to even know what we truly want or love.  Many people answer the question, “What do you want?” with “I want to stop having this situation.” But that isn’t what you want!

Focus on a problem is not the same as focusing on a desire. Perhaps I don’t want to be alone anymore. Do I replace it with joining a club, a church, a partnership or a prison?

You can prompt yourself with “What do I want?” to turn the focus onto your choice. “I want a loving family”

The whole process of creating a life you love and succeeding at it, can be started by determining what you really want to create.  Start now, by giving some thought to what you really want to be, do and have.

If you think you know what you really want, think about it some more.  Is it?  

Or… is it a stepping stone to something else?  Do you really want the money or do you want it to buy a ticket to Greece?  Do you want to lose 20 pounds or do you think you have to lose weight before you can date?  Do you really want to write best sellers but tell yourself that’s unrealistic and you can only write for the club newsletter?  Do you really want the house or do you hope it will benefit your children?

What do you want, do you really, really want.

A choice you made yourself is satisfying.  What you care about holds your interest when it goes well and even when it doesn’t.
