Why do you create stuff?
What makes you create stuff?
To what end?
Do you create consciously or unconsciously?
Are you forced to create something because you're on a payroll?
Or perhaps you need the money and it's the only way to get through it?
Do you create because you want to make a statement for yourself?
Do you create because you want to show others a thing or two?
Do you create because you love?
And that you love people and really want to help them?
Do you create no matter if people cared what came forth from you?
Is it who you are?
Is it of value to others?
Are you happy with what you have created?
We're all mini-gods, really.
We have this ability to create.
What springs forth from our being?
What springs forth from our minds, hearts, bodies, and spirits?
What does our soul desire?
What is our greater intention?
What is our deepest intention?
Are you being honest with yourself?
Just like with everything in the universe, the results and happiness follow.
If we create with love, the results will breathe of love.
If we create with ego, the results will speak of ego.
If we create consciously, the results may be of value.
If we create unconsciously, sometimes the results have value, too.
As Einstein would say, it is all "relative".
What is precious to another may not be of value to another.
One man's treasure may be another man's junk.
That's the way life is -- neutral.
You, the creator, are the animating force.
You're the one who breathes life into anything in your life.
You're the star of your show.
Better yet, you're the director, the actor, the stage hand, the producer, and the audience of your show.
You're simply everything.
You create from your own personal planet.
Just like billions of people in their own part of this world.
All facets of the Greater Being Who Created Us All.
Magic only happens when others like what you've created.
Or when they find something valuable in what you have to offer.
The world is in chaos only because people get carried away by greed.
Or they're not patient.
Creation takes time.
Creation can be violent.
Scientists will tell you that.
But like a good Zen monk, you will allow the dust to settle.
And wait and watch for what will surface.
The sediments will settle.
And what surfaces?
That's the essence of your creation.
People may like what you've created.
Or they may not.
Please don't take anything personally.
Things just are.
People just are.
Just keep creating -- with love, peace, joy, and consciousness.
Most of all, you've got to be the happy one.
Are you happy with what you've created?
Does it resonate well with your being?
Is your thinking clear about it?
Have no expectations.
Just have heart.
And a clear mind.
A pure heart.
Giving back to the Creator what He gave you first.
If people like what you've created, you've done something right.
You've found your tribe.
If they don't and they're the ones you really wish to create for, only one thing to do:
Back to the drawing board.
Creation is all about patience.
Sometimes, we forget what really matters.
What do we wish to create for ourselves?
What change do we need?
What change do we want?
Of course, it starts from us.
My form of creation right now is through this article.
I wish to remind myself of what matters most.
My guideline, my guidepost, in my own creation.
If it resonates with yours, then you can tip me.
And I say, "Thank you!" from the depths of my being.
So very grateful.
Create for self first.
Your tribe will follow.
And if you don't uncover a tribe?
Well, keep creating.
Creating is a dynamic exercise.
When it's done in your mind, it's as good as done.
Execution is easy.
You've created the guideposts yourself.
Don't you love how fun it is to create?
At how worthwhile all our efforts are?
Create from the core of your being.
That will make you happiest.
And always have no expectations.
In life, everything's 50-50.
But do treasure your creations as if it were a new-born baby.
It IS your baby.
You brought it forth.
