Free Up Your Joy

If we let go of what we’re trying to get more of, which we really don’t need,

it frees up reserves of vitality

to make a difference

with what we have.

When you make a difference with what you have,

it expands.

This applies to love,

to time,

to relationships

— and, of course, to money.

If you sit down and make a difference with the money that you have, you will find that your experience of it expands,

and you don’t have that focus on scrambling to get more of what you don’t really need —

which is what most

of us

are so busy doing that we don’t even notice

who we are and what we have.

By contrast,

the context of sufficiency is making a difference with who you are,

what you have,

and knowing that it’s whole, complete, and exactly enough.

It’s perfection.”

Cooperating with Our Creativity

“When we are willing to be open-minded, art and beauty come flooding into us in a thousand small ways. When we let ourselves see the possibilities instead of the improbabilities, we become as flexible and resilient as we really are. It is human nature to create. When we cooperate with our creativity, using it to live within the lives we actually have, we surprise ourselves with our level of invention.” _{Julia Cameron— The Sound of Paper: Starting from Scratch}

The Power of Imagination“I think of affirmations and visualizations as tapping into the power of the imagination, which is a generator and transformer, a force that precedes and shapes who we become, and what we create and achieve. Whenever we attempt something new or difficult, we have to be able to imagine it before it becomes possible. It’s the combination of inspiration and perspiration that brings about tangible results.” _{Jean Shinoda BolenClose to the BoneLife-Threatening Illness and the Search for Meaning}
