We all know what it’s like to create out of struggle, fear, and pain.We’ve all been there! Life has knocked us off our game, and creating a new experience is not optional – it’s a necessity. From in between
a rock and a hard place, we gather our resources and embrace change.
Hopefully, we create circumstances that serve us much better than those before change “happened to us.” But often we simply take a step from intolerable to bearable, and stop there.
But there is also creation out of joy. We create something new, not because the old isn’t working, but because growth can’t be found bydoing the same things over and over again. We embrace change, not
because we have to, but because we are exercising the power of choice in order to experience ourselves in a more expansive way.
If we are continually creating out of joy, we will most likely avoid creating out of pain. When we are always in expansion, we don’t need to manifest drastic circumstances in order to break ourselves out of a
rut. We don’t need to manifest the loss of a relationship or a career if we are already fully and consciously engaged in the process we came here for – the process of spiritual growth. Rather than needing life’s
big stick to move us forward, we are already taking the steps that lead us further into the expression of our purpose.
So how do we switch our basic operating system to create from joy instead of pain? The difference between the two is simple: Tolerance.
For example, how much abuse are we willing to tolerate before we finally leave a relationship? Do we ignore thoughtlessness demonstrated on a first date? Do we overlook a lack of kindness in the first six months?
Do we tolerate emotional abuse for a few years? Does it take physical violence to finally move us forward? For some people, tolerance extends even past this point!
How tolerant are we of a dwindling bank account? Do we change our financial circumstances when we can’t go on the vacation we want?
When we fall behind on our bills? Or when we have tens of thousands in credit card debt racked up? What is the point at which we are in enough pain to embrace change?
As glorious spiritual Beings, is it really appropriate to tolerate any circumstances that do not utterly express our Divine nature?
What if we reduced our willingness to tolerate anything that isn’t joyful, fulfilling, and abundant? What if we became so committed to expressing our Divinity in every single life circumstance that
anything less would immediately inspire a small but significant course correction to the experience we desire for ourselves? We would always be in the process of joyful creation, always embracing
change as part of our journey of spiritual evolution.
Tolerance sneaks up on us. What we first brush off as being “not so bad” because “other people have it much worse” attracts more of the same, until we look at our circumstances and wonder how we could have
let ourselves go so far – into financial difficulties, abusive relationships, ill health, obesity. Tolerance is saying “yes” to less than our Divinity. And this responsive, abundant Universe will
serve up more of the same until we step back into our power and reclaim what has always been ours.
Creating something new does not invalidate what we’ve created so far.
We are, after all, never “done” or “there.” It’s appropriate to fix what isn’t broken, just because we would express ourselves more authentically through a new circumstance.
Don’t look for what’s not working. Look at what you may be tolerating -even just a little bit. This is the key to joyful creation.
