What Have You Created? 

Some folks are good at creating wealth.
Some folks are good at making love.
Some folks create loving families.
Some folks create good prayers.
Some folks are good at creating adventure.
Some folks are good at making trouble.
Some folks are good at creating things and people to fix and change.
Some folks are good at creating opportunities for fun and freedom.
Some folks are good at creating ideas and vision.
Some folks are good at making dreams come true.
Some folks are good at stirring the pot and rocking the boat.
And some are good at calming the storm and soothing ruffled feathers.
Some folks are good at argument and debate.
Some folks are good at starting wars.
Some folks are good at tooting their own horn.
Other folks are good at making others feel good.
Some of us create beautiful words or songs or stories.
Some dance and move with grace.
Some can cook up a storm.
Some can paint or clean or repair.
Some folks spend their lives complaining about not doing anything.
Other folks spend their lives doing whatever they want.

What is the life you have created?

One key to creativity and fulfillment is taking responsibility and appreciating the life you have.
If you don’t like your life, forgive your judgments and accept responsibility for what you have.
If you do like your life, accept responsibility and appreciate your creativity.
To honor and respect your creativity in creating the life you have is to empower yourself to create again.
To complain about your life and criticize and blame others, is to dis-empower yourself and deny your creative potential.

Even in our unconsciousness, we are creating.
Even in our blame, we are creating.
Even in not choosing, we are creating.
Even in following others, we are creating.
Even in letting things go, we are creating.
Even in playing weak and small, we are creating.
Even in being needy and afraid, we are creating.
Even in whining about what we don’t have, we are creating.
Even in running away, we are creating.

What are you willing to create now? And how???
Loving you,
Betty Lue
