We are creators, too often lulled into amnesia by the stress of life.
We don’t see the choices we make that wear us out, that move us away from what we care about. Instead, 
we tell ourselves we “have to (fill in the blank).” We let circumstances, and the demands of others, control our lives.
Choosing life is about stepping up and making clear choices to do, or not to do, something. It’s being true to ourselves; to take the risk of saying “No.” And, if we say “Yes,” it’s staying clear why we chose to do it and doing our best.
NOTE: If you’re letting something drain your energy, my guess is you lied to yourself about choosing to do it. Try again 🙂
1) Make a list: Where do I need to say “No” ? What do I need to let go? (a hated project, old clothes, obligatory relationships, volunteer activities, jobs….)
2) Do it!
Creating Works: have a good life.
Now I think I might need some therapy. What would be the next step after such a revelation?

If you start saying “No” and stop doing the things that drain your energy, the next step may be to spend some time exploring what you most care about. What’s most important to you? I’m beginning to believe that what we truly care about, what we hear from that small still voice when we listen, is rooted in our life’s purpose.
