Power to be Creative – Part 2…

Hi EveryOne,

Another fortnight over and here we are less than two weeks away from spring, as I sit and contemplate this amazing power… Creativity! I hope you are all using this wonderful powerful to create what you want in your life! Remember it’s up to each of us to create our own world of wonder and together we can create a colorful tapestry filled with love. Each Soul has a purpose, a role – no matter how big or how small – no role is any more or less special than the other, they are just different 🙂

This wonderful Power allows access to areas of the mind that unleashes amazing potential that otherwise lies dormant within most of us. It’s a Power that brings newness over and over and over. It brings clarity of mind, courage to have a go, generosity to share, lightheartedness to stay easy, enthusiasm to keep trying, love to keep giving – it simply allows me to think in new and different ways without judgement or ridicule. Each a child of the Universe, simply and naturally playing together.

When I remember to ‘play’ nothing in life ‘matters’ because everything is ok, there is no right or wrong it all just is! Nothing ‘matters’ because nothing material is permanent. Understanding that everything is mine to experiment with and at the same time, knowing on a deeper level that nothing belongs to me (I come with nothing and I go home with nothing) enables me to embrace the role of the Creator, one who creates then lets go and hands it all back. Being Creative in life gives me the playfulness to have a go without becoming attached to the creation or the outcome. This detachment allows me to see old things in new ways – ever observe a child seeing something with absolute awe in their eyes – like it’s the first time they’ve seen it?… It’s simply magic! Never even knowing the concept of failure or success – they are simply having a go then moving on!

Indigenous cultures are also magical in using their Power to be Creative, they use whatever they have – which in a world of want, doesn’t appear to be much – yet they create something useful. They appreciate it and use it till it’s no longer required, then they give it back to nature. They return it to mother earth. They never hunted or took more than was needed, to ensure there was always enough for the following seasons and for others. Respect and resourcefulness is to use the Power to be Creative. For example, when they killed an animal or plant, they used every part of it – for food, for clothing, for shelter, for tools and weapons, for medicine etc. Nothing was discarded! Nothing was wasted! They understood that everything has a purpose. They were also seen as wanderers as they didn’t have the same need for own something, like Western society (this of course includes me). Even though I am a gypsy through and through, I still ‘own’ a caravan and car. Sure, it may be small and not at all fancy like some of the rigs you see on the road nowadays – but I am still attached to certain material things and still need to practice being Creative.

Therefore, never believe you don’t ‘have enough’! Never believe you are not ‘good enough’!… Everything and everyone has a purpose! Never give up because something didn’t work in the past, simply be Creative and try different ways – because in a world of enslavement to material belongings, the Power to be Creative allows us to be FREE!

Questions to churn on:

– Do I believe I don’t ‘have enough’ to be creative?

– Do I feel free to create what I want or do I feel enslaved to all ‘my’ finished and unfinished projects?

– Am I wasteful or do I appreciate my own resourcefulness?

Lesson:
The Creator is simply the Trustee. When I allow myself this freedom I become resourceful beyond imagination. True resourcefulness allows me to create whatever I want 🙂

Looking forward to hearing your stories 🙂 Please remember to send them in by the 29th August.

Happy Creating EveryOne, Lots of love Annemarie
