6 LIFE-TRANSFORMING TRUTHS #1 -- Learn to Create

I have had the greatest feeling lately. The world is open. I can CREATE. Creating doesn't just involve a pen or a brush, it can be turning music up loud and having a dance party, planning a trip to travel the world, and creating my life to be what I want it to be.

1. CREATE

First, get in the mindset of creating. How do you want to create? Is it detailed and organized (e.g. you find a place for everything in your house), or is it a big seemingly un-achieveable plan? (e.g. learn native dances from countries around the world).

I was reading a book that asked "If you have 100 million dollars in the bank what would you do day to day? What would motivate you to wake up each morning?" That's how my idea to travel began. I thought how neat it would be not to just live in one place and travel from there, but to actually leave everything and get to know the people, living in each place for 1 or 2 months. I would learn from the natives and how they value community and autonomy. I would see in their eyes the innocence and simpleness of life. I would live with less. Teach my girls to play in the jungle or at the beach and let them experience the world hands-on. It sounds crazy, but the next day I remembered a friend who did just that. She was super nice to talk to me for two hours and tell me the triumphs and loneliness of their slow travel. I was surprised to find we could easily get by on less than 60 or 70k a year. This is a trip Dan and I want to create together. It may be anywhere from 1-12 months, and we're planning to leave this Fall.

You see, creating can happen in so many forms. You are the creative type! So sit down today and get in the mindset of creation. Ask yourself "how big do I want to create?" "What is my ideal life?" Write down some affirmations that will help you realize and internalize your value. Remember, you are a spirit daughter of the most creative being in the universe!
