Simply defined, creation means
“the act by which, according to various religious and philosophical traditions,
the world was brought into existence OR an original product of human invention
or artistic imagination”.
If the Universe was created,
and God created us, then it only makes sense, for life to continue, that we
need to continue creating. Creating new life, creating work for ourselves,
creating opportunities, creating fun and joy and love.
Every single one of us is a
creative being. Even if you may not think so, we spend every day, creating our
own life’s masterpiece. I know, I am being very philosophical, but
our entire lives are a work of art, and everyday represents a canvas or a blank
page in a book, on which you get to add your brushstrokes to, or fill with your
body of poetry, ultimately creating your own work of art.
So many of us want to skip to
the end, falling over our feet in the process, or look into the future to see
where our lives are going, worrying about the future, forgetting to take a
moment, to live in the moment. But that’s like throwing paint on your canvas,
hoping for a masterpiece to be created in one day, or jumping to the last page
of a novel before you’ve even begun. Imagine listening to a song or watching a
movie, and fast forwarding to the end. The end is not going to have as much of
an impact or any meaning at all, if you have not experienced the journey there,
the highs and the lows, now is it?
Take a moment, to live in the
moment, and start creating. Even if it’s only starting with a vision board. And
if you can’t make one, go digital and use Pinterest to collect pictures of all
the things that make you happy. But START!
