Creation Vs Reaction

Reality. How do you feel about yours? Are you a creator or are you living in reaction mode? Isn't it delicious that the two words are spelled with all the same letters!? It's as simple as rearranging the characters to achieve a completely different result! That's how reality works! Simply rearrange our thoughts and actions and watch how our lives can change! Take responsibility. There are subtle moments when you can feel whether you are creating or reacting! What is the difference between reacting and creating? When we live in reaction - we wait for events to take place before we either celebrate or perform damage control! Why? Why not just create? Living in creation mode means living with intention - being deliberate. It means limiting space for anyone or anything else to be in control of your experience! It means living in celebration with and without cause! Taking responsibility through trial and error and moving forward with expertise. Creators don't wait for good or bad things to happen to react. Creators create reasons to celebrate and grow through the attempts that didn't turn out as "planned!" Most people unwittingly live in reaction mode, though. This simply means that a person feels as though life is happening to them. They claim to have no control, but the truth is - we are all very much in control in some form, even if it is simply in our reaction! Sure! Sometimes, things happen that can seem far out of our control. There are many factors that can make up every aspect of our experience! When something happens that seems beyond our control, it is interesting to recognize the role we actually play in such events unfolding! Especially to recognize whether or not such things truly deserve our attention or not! More importantly, what's next? Are we defaulting to reaction OR creation? Every decision we make leads us to a point in our lives that we had technically chosen to be at based on earlier preferences! Sometimes we make decisions with careful consideration and other times we stumble into a situation where we may make a decision with haste! Either way, a decision is made and somewhere along the way - we must recognize that we are responsible. It's easy to take responsibility when there is a positive outcome, isn't it!? However, when we are in reaction mode and something undesirable happens, what do we do? We spiral into unfavorable thoughts and actions! We find ourselves in a state of discomfort and as a result; we, (as humans), deflect responsibility. When "bad" things happen, it doesn't feel good. It is human nature to protect our personal value and this is why we often will react as though we had no control! Why on Earth would any one of us hold ourselves accountable in creating an uncomplimentary situation for ourselves or anyone else? We prefer not to disappoint. Of course, we will become defensive! Such things cannot be our own fault!! I'll be honest, and I will be going off track momentarily! We don't come here to have everything handed to us. We are here to experience and expand collectively! It is my belief that we choose many of the trials with intention and excitement but then we forget when we become physical! If we really want to dive deep and hold ourselves accountable for this experience - it began before we began! We TRULY are the ultimate creators! So, what does it mean to come out of reaction mode and into creation mode!? It means you are remembering who you are! You are recalling your power! If it feels unrealistic to someone, that's okay. Most have practiced being in reaction mode for a very long time. If you are inspired to shift, it's as simple as embracing delicate changes in our decision making process - as well as opening perceptions of the reality that we are creating in conjunction with observations we make of others realities around us! Begin by performing every day tasks in a different mindset. If you're not already finding joy in doing the little things, find the thoughts that lead to the mindset of loving every moment of this existence! We woke up!! When you wake up, do you count your blessings and seek evidence of more!? The universe will always deliver evidence of that which we believe! If you haven't already, start to practice believing that you are the luckiest person to be alive! Step outside and take a deep breath! Stop and listen to the birds sing! Open your eyes and REALLY see what's before you. Start small, (and believable), and build your way up! It's always interesting to think about how multiple people can be living in the same household and living totally different realities! One could be feeling euphoric while the other is in a constant state of stress over the "things they have no control over." This is the only time I might enjoy some recognition of having no control over a situation! Mainly because I like to assist in redirection, because WHY would anyone worry about something that they have no control over? Worrying doesn't change anything except the quality in which we are enjoying our own reality! I cannot understand why anyone would willingly give their power away by saying they're not in control of what happens to them. I do know that for some, it is easier not to hold themselves accountable. This is an unjustified mindset of a seemingly unfortunate person. Even down to the way someone treats another. I know from experience that I allowed harm to be done to me. I allowed certain behaviors from other humans and excused them many times and I realized that was a reality that I had created. Unintentionally, yes. However, I admittedly taught them that it was okay to harm me the way they had been doing so. I had (unintentionally) given my permission. Once I realized and held myself accountable for allowing it, I shifted! I took responsibility and revoked the permission I had granted. Though, I do understand that blame feels better than guilt! (I lived in that headspace for a long time.) I shifted from reaction to creation!! Though, this took years for me to discern and regain my power, I had finally realized, learned and took action. I'm not going to say it was easy. Sacrifices were made, but it was really me against myself at that point. As a creator - in creation mode, it is vital that we are not phased by anyone else' reality, (especially if they live in reaction mode), because we give energy to that which we focus on!!! Even in an undesirable circumstance, we can live our dream! To be a creator, we simply must live as the version of ourselves that we most desire to be! BE and it IS!! We are creative Beings! I challenge all of us to start choosing differently if we are not already living in our desires. Desire, Focus, BE - Create. Food for thought; When a Supernova activates in space, is it a reaction or is it some form of creation?
