When you are satisfied with what you have "now," you will have the clarity for the creativity within you to come forth. That means, you are *not* worried or complaining, but living your life to the fullest being in the "Now." Life (the creative nature within and around you) is always active and it does not stop; it is always creating. Our human mind, by its nature has the need to label things as good or bad, so we say, "something is living and the other is dying." In fact, one form of matter/energy is just transforming into another. So, it is always active. Even our purpose on this planet, I believe, is to experience and be the creators that we truly are.
If I may quote Bhagavad Gita, Krishna gives highest priority to the "Yoga of Action." This is "action with detachment to the result." He says, "In the manifest form even maintenance of this body is not possible without action. If you just sit around and do nothing, even the body will atrophy." However, the key is the "Detachment to the result." It does not mean that you are not planning or working towards a goal you have set. It just means that once you set up a goal and have a plan in place to achieve that goal, you forget about the end result and focus intensely on the step you are taking at the present moment. Worrying about the end result is going to only mess up the work you are doing now. In yoga of action, there is no room for complacency or laziness. There is actually intense focused activity, but you are doing that activity with detachment to the end result. Also, your activity should be in alignment with your inner need for experience and growth, and your nature. Only then it will result in the most creative result.
As creators of reality it is for each individual to create and experience his/her own reality in order for a deep and permanent personal growth to occur, and to unleash the creative potential within each of us.
Sorry for rambling on.
Thanks for listening.
