Change is a constant of the Universe – whether we like it or
not. Many of us don’t particularly like
change. If things are going OK, don’t
rock the boat… don’t try to fix it if it ain’t broke. If you are in that boat, I think you will
find the weather on the sea of life is going to move you around anyway. I believe in evolution – it usually moves
slowly but it never stops. Everything is
constantly evolving… moving toward greater fulfillment of potential and also
constantly creating new potentials by imagining what might be. We are all on the front lines of that
creative process and the speed is picking up.
If you are more than fifty years old, just think back about
the technological and social changes that have taken place in your life. Remember when you dialed a phone? Remember when if you were a darker skinned
person you had to sit at the back of the bus?
Remember when writing a letter with a pen and a piece of paper and
sending it off with the postman was how you communicated with distant friends
and businesses?
It’s all changed. We
are constantly reinventing the way things are done with a driving mission to
make things better. Make things easier
and increase their functionality. That’s
evolution. We don’t always get it right
– we clearly need to come up with a new primary fuel source – oil and coal are
almost “dark ages” fuels. The energy
source for our planetary spaceship is the Sun so it would seem reasonable that
finding ways to harness that power would make the most sense.
But, here is the exciting reality – we are very creative,
determined creatures. Everything we do
is driven by a belief that by doing it or creating it we will have happier,
more enjoyable lives. That hope, that
joyful belief in our ability to create something better is the source of our
creative power. We get frustrated
sometimes when things seem to be getting worse rather than better but it is
that “pebble in our shoe” that pushes us to come up with the new idea.
And so it is springtime again. New growth in the natural world allows for
environments to be reformed in new patterns.
What seeds of ideas or desires do you have that are ready to burst into
life? You are one of reality’s design
team – what hopes and dreams for a better world can you invest some of your
emotional energy in? Change is
inevitable and it is a good thing. A heartfelt
thought of encouragement for another can be a catalyst for positive change. Maybe you will come up with a more efficient
way to harness solar energy in your garage.
You, us, them – we are all part of it.
Creating change and moving creation forward day by day. Always move toward what makes you feel good
about life and we will be on the right track.
