About
I’ve been through some ugly times in my life: divorce, depression, loneliness, being poor and even sickness. I’ve been a mess – in a bad way to where it seemed there was no end in sight. It felt as if I was stuck in an eternal hole. And from everything that I knew about life I had absolutely no control over any of it. All these bad things had happened to me, all I could do was react.
That’s exactly what I thought. “All I can do is react.” And that is what I did: I reacted.
During those times I remember writing lists and lists of the many things I hated about my life and about me. I would pull out one of those yellow legal pads and write for hours. List upon list I would write. I don’t really know what I was trying to accomplish, maybe I was trying to justify the reasons why I was so dang depressed.
One day while I was writing I wrote the word “react.” Somewhere else on that same page I had written the word “create.” I noticed something: both words had the same letters. It struck me like a bolt of lightning. Each word defined a different way in which I could deal with my life. I could react, or I could create.
Since that day I have studied absolutely everything I can get my hands on to solidify a definition for both these words. I have read self development books, religious books, science and physics books, psychological and neuropsychological books – hunting for information about these two words.
You see, these two words we all use – often. But do we really know what they mean? I searched voraciously for meaning and how to apply what I learned. What I have found is nothing short of amazing.
Sadly I learned that most people live by reaction not creation. I found that these two words are polar opposite orientations. That there is tremendous power in the act of creating, and that in reaction there is an absence of this power. Or better said, reaction is the voluntary relinquishment of this power into the hands of other forces.
Most importantly I learned that I had the power to control my life. I could be a creator. So for the last 12 years I have learned how to be a creator. No longer will I relinquish my power to create by reacting. No, I will create!
These Blog pages will explore numerous ways of looking at the truth that creators create. The META tag description I wrote says, “Some believe they are powerless to control what happens in their lives, but there are a select few called Creators who powerfully create the lives they desire.” That is what this Blog is about – Creators – and how they powerfully create the lives they desire.
Another thing: I love to create. One thing that I enjoy creating is watercolor painting. Throughout the pages of CreatorsCreate.com you will see small and large watercolors. Mostly I will use them to decorate the pages. If however, you might desire to see the full painting please contact me.
Here’s to your creations!
