In the art gallery that life is, we are all artists, adding our own unique techniques to a collective canvas. The brushstrokes we apply, and the colours we choose are all determined by the underlying emotions that fuel our creations.
Neale Donald Walsch is our teacher this week and these quotes are all taken from his books, “Conversations with God.”
Stepping into a new week, you have the choice between creating from a place of fear, or creating from a place of freedom, and here Neale poetically describes this as the choice between FEAR and LOVE…
“All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by two emotions–fear or love. In truth there are only two emotions–only two words in the language of the soul…. Fear wraps our bodies in clothing, love allows us to stand naked. Fear clings to and clutches all that we have, love gives all that we have away. Fear holds close, love holds dear. Fear grasps, love lets go. Fear rankles, love soothes. Fear attacks, love amends.” – Neale Donald Walsch
“Every single free choice you ever undertake arises out of one of the only two possible thoughts there are: a thought of love or a thought of fear. Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards, harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares, heals. Every human thought, word, or deed is based in one emotion or the other. You have no choice about this, because there is nothing else from which to choose. But you have free choice about which of these to select.” – Neale Donald Walsch
Creating in fear will do its job to keep you alive. But creating in freedom is the true expression of your soul.
When you create in fear, your highest achievement will be to become the best version of your LIMITED self. Step into your UNLIMITED nature, and see what you can create when you embrace possibilities over problems.
The choice between fear and love is a conscious one. It’s a decision we make every day, in every aspect of our lives. When we choose to create from fear, we limit our potential. When we choose to create from love, we unleash our inner artist and embark on a journey of self-discovery and fulfillment.
So, how can you cultivate a mindset of love and creativity? Here are a few guiding mantras for self-reflection:
- Let go of the outcome. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to create a masterpiece. Enjoy the process and focus on expressing yourself authentically.
- Believe in your abilities. Trust in your talent and your intuition. You have the potential to create something truly extraordinary.
- Connect with your passion. What truly excites and inspires you? Pursue your passions with enthusiasm and dedication.
- Surround yourself with love and support. Seek out positive relationships and a supportive community that encourages your creativity.
The next time you find yourself facing a challenge, ask yourself: “What is motivating my decisions? Fear or love?” If you’re creating from fear, take a step back and consider how you can shift your perspective. Remember, the best that fear can hope to do is only just stay ahead of trouble. Love is the energy that recognizes possibility and potential. When your actions are not determined by fear, you can access the freedom to be the expression of your soul.
