This week I played cards with a blind man. I didn't know him and will probably will never see him again but he taught everyone at the table about acknowledging the challenges you face but not allowing those challenges to stop you from obtaining what you want or desire. This man knew he wanted to play cards, sat down with strangers, explained what little assistance he needed, and began to play. He had a great afternoon and created a positive experience for himself as well as for those who were privileged to meet him.
In the past, I have always thought of a creative person as one who paints, dances, sings, etc. But at this stage of my life, I see creativity all around me in everything I do. Martha lists many things we can do to be creative. Once again, I have decided to simplify the chapter in order to make it work for me. The most important thing I got from the chapter on creativity was the reminder that everything I think, say, and do helps to create the life I live. This is quite a powerful concept and I have made a promise to myself not to float through each day but to live each moment mindfully and with intention. If I have the power in my hands to create the life I want, then it is going to be a masterpiece that I can proudly call my own!
