Creating Oneself

This writing, from the Positive Thoughts  blog, describes well what it means to move from a Reactive perspective to a Creative one... something that not many adults achieve...  This shift, from Reactive to Creative is central to The Evolving Self program starting on April 27, where we explore what it means, but more importantly, we explore and practice the skills on how to do it.

When children learn that giving is more rewarding than taking; when they learn that they can't control everything, but they are masters of their own souls; when they learn to accept people whose difference they fear, and that pleasure is found in the power in helping others; when they learn that the value of one's life is best measured not by possession acquired, but by wisdom shared, hope inspired, tears wiped, and hearts touched; when they learn that happiness and lasting contentment are not to be found in what a person has, but in what he or she is; when they learn to withhold judgment of people, knowing that everyone is blessed with good and bad qualities; when they learn that every person has been given the gift of a unique self and the purpose of life is to share the very best of that gift with the world. . . . When children learn these ideals, they will no longer be children--they will be blessings to those who know them, and worthy models for all the world's children.

To exist is to change, to change is to mature,
to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.
