R E A C T I O N

I love the lessons hidden in the language that I use in this life.  I appreciate that I can simply move the ‘C’ in one word to make a new word and then make a point about both words…

The human being is an experiential artist.  We create every single day on a blank canvass and this is our opportunity for expression. 

The ever so popular saying “shit happens” comes to mind as I ponder this.  We are all subject to circumstances, favorable or otherwise and the moment shit happens is our opportunity to choose.  That is our power:  Choice. 

Are we reacting?  When the shit hits the proverbial fan, do we become the shit by reacting without thinking?  Do we panic based on past experience that it’s all bad?  Are we worrying ourselves to death over that which is beyond our control? 

Or

Are we creating?  Do we step back and look for the opportunity to choose a different behavior or way of seeing the problem?  Are we using the experience as molding clay or a stepping stone to growth? 

Some of the biggest discoveries on Earth happen because mistakes are made and then creative minds step back to observe reality.  Life is a masterpiece so don’t live it reacting to the world around you.  Dance with it and create.  In this way you’re more likely to leave this world with a smile asking “what comes next?????
