Start noticing how often you say the word, “but.”  This word always precedes an excuse for why you think something isn’t possible.  It’s time to eliminate this 3 letter word if you are really serious about creating the lifestyle you desire.  So, for example, if you’ve been saying, “I hate my small apartment, but I don’t have the funds to find one I really like, you could change that statement.  You could say, instead, “I hate my small apartment; and I’m going to start looking within the month for a nicer one that I really like.”

ACTION:  Now write down the goal you’ve had that you’ve put on the back burner and at least one or two actions you plan to take to get it started.

What’s the key to a healthy, happy and balanced lifestyle?  Perhaps it’s first telling yourself the truth about what you want and clarifying the circumstances and beliefs that have been holding you back.  Then it’s deciding to take action towards what you desire to create, in spite of those circumstances and beliefs.

Ready or not – here we go!  Time to get the ball rolling!

In my book called, Creating Your Life as a Blessing, there is a chapter,” A Twenty-Four Year Dream Come True.”  This is about a dream I had that I put on the back burner for literally 24 years.  I recall telling someone about my passion to visit France, an this person insisted I did not really want to go to France. He argued that if I had really wanted to go, I would have gone by then.  This discussion clarified for me that although my passion to visit France was still deep inside me, I had allowed a number of circumstances to stop me.  At that point I made the decision that within 3 weeks I would have tickets to go there, no matter what.  I had no idea how I could get off from work, but I didn’t worry about it.  Everything turned out perfectly and I spent a glorious 3 weeks touring France.

Action:  Now write down one goal you’ve had for a while, which you’ve put on the back burner, and write down the circumstances that have held you back.

If we consider the creative process as a tool in creating the results that you want, we have told only a fraction of the story. Yes, the creative process can be used as an effective tool, but it can also lead to so much more …

When your life, itself, becomes the subject matter of the creative process, a very different experience of life opens to you - one in which you are involved with life at its very essence. Your experience of time changes. Tastes, colors, touch, and sounds are experienced more deeply. Not only do you experience important events as having more vitality and life, but you are able to appreciate small events as lovely, poetic, and precious. You may even discover that you love your life, even though you may not have loved the events that have taken place in your life. These new experiences are a natural outgrowth of the involvement in life that the creative process produces.

All of the arts, most of the sciences and technology, architecture, and most of the important advances in civilization exist thanks to the creative process. The creative process is the most successful approach to human accomplishment. But, ironically, most people have not been taught how to create.

You can choose to create results in any area of your life such as career, special projects, financial goals, or even relationships. These examples are only the tip of the iceberg when you truly know how to create.

As you begin to create the results you want in your life, several things happen that are a little hard to describe. You will become more involved with life. You may begin to experience a heightened sense of purpose, meaning, and personal direction. You may find that you are more perceptive about reality. You may find that you are more able to be yourself in your relationship with others. These types of experiences are common among those who have learned to create in their life.

You need to learn how to create what matters to you in your life. Like most people, you may not have thought of your own life as the subject matter of the creative process, but that is exactly what you need to do.

Like other skills, such as typing, skiing, or scuba diving, creating is a skill that can be learned and developed.

A deep longing to create resides within us. Beyond our natural instinct for survival, we also have a natural instinct for building, organizing, forming, and creating. Too often people do not have training and experience in the creative process, so this important instinct is left undeveloped in their lives.

Learning the Skill:

Creating, like all other skills, takes time and experience to learn. You will develop your skill systematically and easily through the course structure. You will learn how to conceive of the results you want to create, how to take strategic action toward those results, how to evaluate and adjust your actions for greater impact, and how to bring the creative process to completion and position yourself to move easily to your next creation. The creative process generates energy and momentum. TFC’s learning process is accumulative, exciting, and fun.

Creating is not about solving your life problems, fixing you, or making you a “better person”. It is for you, if you want to learn how to create what matters to you. Many of the people who are attracted to TFC are already accomplished and are preparing for their next important steps in life.
