Honest Creators

          Great “creators” are often fueled when they find a need.  Finding a true need is a great talent. It is the foundation for most great businesses, government, political movements, and anything else that stands the test of time.  I have witnessed those who found needs and fulfilled them to fill their pockets, their minds, or both. What I have seen within the happy minds of the “millionaires” and the happy minds of the “day-makers” is no different.  It all lies in the idea of happiness for others as well as oneself for the long- and short-term.  When their efforts were to decrease suffering and increase happiness, these people were equally happy with either a Porsche or a peanut.

          We all have needs to fulfill (many on a financial level) but with those needs, you should question why you are placing so much pressure on yourself in struggling to respect your own balance.  This spills over to allowing this unhappiness to spread to the ones we love and want to be close to.  Unfortunately, many continue to repeat unbalanced routines from sunrise to sundown.  I once heard a definition of insanity as “repeating the same behavior and expecting different results.” This is where our little internal voice needs to become big. It’s when we wake up, and the little voice says, “This is insane!” Insane?  This is when our needs should be checked and even double-checked.  Sometimes, people find themselves creating needs only for the benefit of themselves without even realizing they are doing so. We often start or continue to play the “insane game.”

          On other hand, some find the needs rather than create them, and they make efforts to fulfill them for the benefit of others. These people naturally put themselves in positions where they can help, but many times along the way, they are faced with moral obstacles.  Often, these people are faced with choices of change.  It is not only the doctors, leaders, and healers who are faced with the moral choices of change. It is all of us with a fullness of consciousness.  These choices should in no way hinder our efforts. Even though we might feel intimidated by these choices, we shall feel blessed with the opportunity to honor our honesty.
