I went on a week long vacation with my family. Actually we visited three colleges my daughter is considering as well as hiking, eating and having fabulous desserts the rest of the time. What I realized is that it's not possible to not create. The only question is, do I like what I'm creating or shall I create something else.
Often we box ourselves in with our definition of what creating means. For me creating is clearly what I'm doing all the time. There is not a moment that I'm not creating. Am I creating art, creating joy, creating boredom, creating abundance, creating lack, creating beauty, creating ugliness, creating health, creating sickness, you get the idea. I say not creating is not possible because creating is clearly a part of our identity as human beings.
On my week long vacation I didn't create a drop of art. I did create three interesting college experiences. I did create amazing outdoor experiences. I did create interesting shopping, dining and desserting. I did create cool, comfortable temperatures. I did create moments of boredom, wanting, tiredness, etc.
It seems to me that each one of us is creating consciously or unconsciously also know as victimhood. If I own my own creations then I have the power to create something different. If I create unconsciously I'm most often blaming, complaining, gossiping, wanting, jealous, and a whole array of depressing feelings. So as I look at what I'm creating I have a moment where I get to choose to be different or stay the same. The choice is really not a difficult one. Unless I'm addicted to the negative.
