Yesterday, we talked about how life happens for us, not to us.  Now we’re going to talk about the building blocks of creation.

The second tenet is this:  Chaos is unformed creation.

Everything in this physical plane is in flux.  Things are either in creation or decay.  We are born with a desire to create: to create babies, art, a home, a career. We’re born with a desire to create ourselves in this world.

Enter Chaos

So what do we have to work with? Simply this: Chaos.  We have just what we have around us.  And life is messy. Seriously, I’m writing this at 10:30 at night, with two dogs begging for my popcorn, and a full day of work tomorrow.

I thought today that I’d clean the clutter that’s plaguing my sweeheart’s side of the bed. I didn’t even get close to it.

That’s okay, I’ll get there.

Chaos is Unformed Creation

Everybody wants abundance to be clean and easy.  A well-lit path. They want a balanced, clear experience.

When things fall apart,  the common response is to see it as a barrier, a sign that this wasn’t meant to be.

Chaotic experiences on your path can mean a myriad of things.

Let’s Explore a Little Further

Chaos is unformed creation. Power is directed energy.  When you have power over a situation, you have enough energy to direct at the issue to make everything work.

So, when you’re reaching for a new thing, increasing your abundance, there’s going to be a place where you don’t have quite enough energy to direct at your old thing and your new thing, and thus, chaos is formed.

What You Need

Here’s where you borrow a little power.  Maybe you talk your sister into cleaning your house.  You hire a babysitter for a week. You shut the door to your office and work in your dining room. Whatever it takes to change the equation long enough to reach a goal.

Don’t forget…

You can’t trade off forever. You can incrementally make your way up the mountain, but don’t forget to make a base camp and pack extra energy bars. Take naps.

Creation formed from Chaos- Timing is Everything

I know how you feel. You’re midway through a project. You feel the momentum building and then your kid comes home and says that he needs to make 100 flyers by tomorrow.

Ugh. You feel your creation spin down. Your project is at risk.  You are in a balancing act.

How do you make this happen? How do you keep things going?

First remember that the right time will come around again.

Leave your project in a good spot, with your next tasks jotted down.

Then put it out of your mind and go work on those flyers.  Then wait for things to come around again.

Tomorrow- Steady on The What, Creative on The How.
