Fighting vs. Creating

What is the point fighting against what was?
What is the point of fighting against what is not, and may or may not be?
What is the point of fighting against what is not, and may or will be?
What is the point of fighting against what IS?

If I ask myself honestly, I realise the illusion of thinking that there is a point to any of these.

You cannot change the past, you cannot change the future, which is always imagined (anticipated or feared), and you cannot change what IS at this very moment.

So what can you change? For you are not just a dead leaf blowing in the wind. (Or are you?)

CREATE is the word I love to use. Create the world you want to live in. Create the life you want to live. In Ghandi's words: Be the change you want to see in the world. Those are not just words. We all love complaining, let's stop complaining. (If you are not ready to stop complaining, complain consciously and real good and hard till you're done...) Live in the state "as if" - it is the most exciting way to be. It is the way every child lives. Put half your mind into the now, observe and accept what is, and put the other half into how you want things to be. NEVER into how you don't want things to be! Do not despair at all about the discrepancy. That is what drags us down! Grab the challenge. There is a difference between what is and what will be or what you would have it be. If that were not so, there would be no growth, no change, no progress, no movement. It is natural. Do not worry about that. Just be so simple and be so patient. Hold the picture, live the life, and watch it unfold. Be at peace with what is. It will change! That much is certain. If it does not, it is because you are keeping it in place somehow. Life is the most exciting journey you can ever be on. Make it your own. Own it!

This is my motivation to me. I thought I'd share it with you.
