Get Rich Being Creative - Why the Compulsion to Create Makes You
Wealthy
Copyright 2006 Tania French
For a recent article in a European music magazine, I was asked
what drives me to compose music.
It's a great question. What drives any of us to explore and
develop our gifts. Have you ever wondered where this urge to
express yourself comes from?
My answer to the question was "I am just compelled to compose
music. I feel that the true voice of God in us is the compulsion
to create. The mysteries of life are revealed in those quiet
moments."
What I realize now is that this compulsion to create extends far
beyond the artist's domain. This ability and compulsion is
present in all of us at any moment.
I am creating my life Right Now by the thoughts I am putting
down in this article. I am creating my life by deciding what I
want to do at any given moment.
So, my drive to compose music reflects my urge to express the
mystery of life as best I can at any given moment. Same goes for
which book I choose to read, what activities I do with my
family, which foods I choose to eat, what time I good to bed at
night, and so on.
How I choose to do these things matters as much as what I do.
For example, gratitude for my meals is shown by allowing the
experience of eating to be slow and quiet. This means, no
reading, watching, listening to music or news.
Really, what it all comes down to, is seeing your life as
sacred. It's easy for us to see certain things outside of
ourselves as being sacred, but few of us treat our own life as
the miracle that it is.
What treasures await those of you who continuously, fearlessly
step into the unknown.
You find more inner resources than you'd ever imagined. You
discover treasure after treasure of creative reserves. Too
innumerable because they are infinite. Each discovery opens the
gateway to the next. There is no end to this treasure hunt.
These gifts of creativity are more precious than anything in the
world. Because their exploration and activation brings you the
peace and prosperity you were looking for since you were a child.
Embark on your treasure hunt every day. No matter what you are
doing at any moment, access your creative mind. Give it a reason
to churn out its magic. Honor the creator that you are. Give
your mind the wise sustenance it craves.
How lucky we all are. How blessed I am to have the ability to
create each and every day. How grateful I am for the opportunity
to create the life of my dreams.
Here's to your creativity and wealth.
