Creative Life

 To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.

 

Ego

One of the most difficult things to do is letting go of your ego. And
yet, it is very simple, easy and effortless and one of the most
powerful things you can do. And yet, when you do it you give up the
need and the desire for power. When you can bring yourself to get
beyond your own ego, you raise yourself to a whole new level of
awareness, experience and effectiveness. When you can think, live and
act unconstrained by the limitations of your ego, the possibilities are
truly endless. Your worries, your fears, your doubts, anxieties,
disappointments and hesitation to move forward are all sustained by
your ego. Imagine the power of leaving all those limitations behind.
Spend a few minutes, a few hours, or an entire day unconcerned about
what others will think, or what's in it for you, or whether something
offends you or not. Feel the freedom, delight in the ability to
accomplish, and explore possibilities that you may never before have
even known about.

Message

To have cooperation, love and mercy is to be a giver. 

Projection: When we see others' weaknesses all we can have generally are negative thoughts about them. We can, then, no longer help the other person in any way as such negative thoughts only further strengthen the others' negativity. 

 

Solution: Instead of reacting with negativity, we need to have mercy for the ones who are in the control of their own weakness and see if we can help them in any way. And the only way we can encourage the others to change is with love.
