Living Creatively Is A Choice
Making What Matters To Your More Important Than What Is Happening To You

Living reactively is automatic living, it is fast, instantaneous, based on deeply embedded and unconscious habits, designed to protect old wounds and informed by past experience.
It is useful if you are being chased by a tiger.
Living reactively confirms what you already know and creates evidence to reinforce what you already know.
You know you are living reactively when you experience the same story over and over again. It may be a different day, with a different person but the essence of the outcome is consistent.
Reactive living is not creative. You cannot expect or create new outcomes in your life when you live reactively.
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves ~ Viktor Frankl
Creative living means making what matters to you more important than what is happening to you.
When we live reactively we make our CIRCUMSTANCES more important that what matters to us.
To live creatively is to make different choices.
Creators make consciousness choices OUTSIDE their circumstances in favour of what matters to them not what is happening to them.
Make the shift from reactive to creative living to open up your pathway to growth and freedom.
To quote Frankl again ~ Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
