All Thought is Creative

All thought is creative.

I am a thinker; therefore, I am creative.
I choose to think in complete harmony with good,
giving my time and attention to beholding my world
as a place where my life prospers.

Having Fun, Creating

When were you last really happy?

Let that experience ferment,
bring it to mind once in a while.

Why are there so many stars and souls
with no end in sight for them?
Because nothing can interrupt God
having fun, creating!

Meister Eckhart
in Love Poems from God
translated by Daniel Ladinsky

Poise in the Face of Paradox

In the past, a high tolerance for uncertainty was a quality to be found only in great geniuses like Leonardo [da Vinci]. As change accelerates, we now find that ambiguity multiplies, and illusions of certainty become more difficult to maintain. The ability to thrive with ambiguity must become part of our everyday lives. Poise in the face of paradox is a key not only to effectiveness, but to sanity in a rapidly changing world.

Michael J. Gelb in How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci

As You Think

Your mind may be likened to a garden that may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild. You are the master gardener of your soul, the director of your life.

When you realize that you are a creative power, and that you may command the hidden soil and seeds of your being out of which your circumstances grow, then you become the rightful master of yourself.
