Are you one of those people who are searching for more meaning and purpose in your life? If you are, you have more than likely sought answers in many varied philosophies and belief systems only to find that no single ‘way’ resonated with you and nor should it.

Who you are is a unique being of pure creative energy, formed and shaped by all the experiences you have created through all of your lifetimes. Your spirit has accumulated and crafted many gifts and abilities in each incarnation to bring you to this moment of realisation. You have never been more aware of you than you are right now. This is your moment to create you.

When you reflect upon your life, you will realise that you have been creating your life all along with every choice and action you have taken thus far. Some experiences may not have been consciously selected and may have been painful to find your way through. Either way, these experiences have shaped who you are, you have the power to find your way if you decide so. People who say they are not creative give away their source energy and power to create their life experiences.

Creativity is not just about art, creativity is about everyday acts. If you doubt this, reflect on your last 24 hours and acknowledge unique moments of creativity. It could be a meal you have prepared, a conversation, a sensation experienced, a memo written, something you have designed or built or even just thought about. Everyone is creative and everyone has the seed of absolute creativity within them if only they care to remember.

Creativity exists within your imagination which is also where your spirit lives. Remember back to your childhood when you were able to create freely, honestly, without fear, free to be who you chose to be in every moment. If you did not or cannot, try to imagine this state of being, for it still exists inside of you. You have not grown out of the child you, you have only grown around your child self. Who you are still exists inside of you patiently waiting for you to remember and one day come looking.

Try something creative that you have always loved to do or would have loved to have had the courage to try. Do not be concerned about your ability or outcome for these are not important. The process of having a go is! The effort alone will unlock your unique creative gifts.

Attend a class, find a teacher, participate in a group if this feels safer, whatever works for you is fine, just allow the creative
child within you out to play, you will be surprised and delighted to find your true self again. You can never lose you, you just forget sometimes.

Who you are is very special and what you are about is very worthwhile. We all have unique and important roles to play in every lifetime. Find your self and you will find your purpose.
