Today you are welcome to take a look
at an inner navigational system,
to locate creativity.

Creativity is always waiting for you.
It is where we can find
ability and passion.
This is how we pick up a pen or a brush,
or create a new fun activity.

But also, our very basic creativity is,
the ability to keep building (or rebuilding)
independence and internal stability.

Now, to put this in a broader framework:
We have inner happenings, on the one hand,
and external circumstances, on the other hand.

External circumstances can include:
Friends,
Work,
Life partner,
Where you live,
Health;

Those are very important —
And something in us believes
that if we manage to set up
our external circumstances
Just right —
It will keep us safe and strong.

Actually, we cannot find
True internal safety and strength
just based on external circumstances.
Because they are unstable,
as much as we would like them to be stable.

What inspires me, is the possibility
of each of us knowing and feeling
that we are free and creative.

We can create inner strength —
The REAL stability.

I’m here because this is what I want for you and me:

To learn how to take responsibility
for how we feel and think.

To learn how to take a step back
(A safe and loving step back),
from thoughts and feelings
instead of getting lost in them.

To learn that there is no way to control
thoughts or feelings, and that’s okay.
At the same time,
you don’t have to drown in them.

To learn how to be with an unpleasant
emotion or thought,
To learn that it’s only temporary
and it’s not here to convey
some important message,
it will change in its own time.

To understand how I can give myself approval.

To realize that I don’t have
to take to heart
every thought that crosses my mind,
if I don’t like it.
You’re allowed to disagree with a thought.

To Learn a stance of respect and love
towards feelings and thoughts,
While learning how not to let them control me.

To learn how to see that
I am enough right now, as is.
And so — out of a stance of
completeness and wellness,
to find tools to do more in life,
to get stronger, to grow,
to find a sense of competency and calmness.

To learn the tools to do all this,
Because they are at the heart of
Our ability to use our creativity.

There are a few voices inside all of us.
And it’s up to each of us
to pick which one we focus on.
